The Sabres jumped ahead 2-0 in the first period, but the Thrashers tied the match before first intermission |

Simpson's return could not come at a better time for Phoenix, which has allowed a Western Conference-worst 42 goals this season. Only the Rangers (47), Islanders (47) and hapless Atlanta Thrashers (43) have given up more. Defensemen Paul Mara (3g, 2a),Danny Markov (1g, 3a), Teppo Numminen (1g, 2a), Radoslav Suchy (1g, 1a) and Ossi Vaananen have struggled to a combined minus-24.

That's the sentiment that could have been expressed by the Atlanta Thrashers after their 3-3 tie Halloween night in Toronto against the Maple Leafs. The lowly club earned its second point of the young season with the deadlock, after losing the first 10 games (0-8-1-1) There were some surprises on the Thrashers' end in the contest, not the least of which was the absence of 19-year-old phenom Ilya Kovalchuk.

The Kings enter Thursday's tilt on the heels of a 4-0 blanking of the hapless Atlanta Thrashers, but after the game no one seemed to be too concerned about the win.
