| Dallas, TX (MySportsbook) - The Dallas Stars hope to stay perfect all-time versus the Atlanta Thrashers when the two teams face off at AmericanAirlines Center. The Stars enter Friday's contest on a sour note following a two-game winless streak, including Wednesday's 3-0 blanking at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings. Marty Turco was pulled after making just five saves on eight shots, as Dallas suffered its first regulation loss at home (10-1-2-1). Ron Tugnutt stopped all 10 shots he faced in relief. Turco has |

The Sabres, with 19 points, have now leaped over the Atlanta Thrashers and out of the NHL basement. Now they just need to find some way back into the Northeast Division race, and it will be a stern task. Fourth-place Montreal is nine points ahead in the standings.

| (MySportsbook) - Byron Dafoe has experienced a series of firsts since signing on with the Atlanta Thrashers. First start. First loss. First win. Well, on Thursday night in Boston he got to go up against his former club for the first time in a Thrashers' sweater. But thanks to a quick second-period Bruins outburst and a debatable tripping penalty in overtime, he was on the back end of a 4-3 score as his club had a two-game win streak snapped. Dafoe, who posted a 35-26-3 record for Boston last season, was not r |
