The Thrashers went their last nine games of last season without a victory, and haven't won since a 3-2 overtime triumph against Ottawa on March 23. On Tuesday, Curt Fraser's club suffered its worst loss of the s |

| El Segundo, CA (MySportsbook) - Los Angeles Kings center Jason Allison will miss two-to-three months after tearing the medial collateral ligament of his right knee in Tuesday's 4-0 win against the Atlanta Thrashers. The injury will not require surgery, but Allison is not expected to be healthy until January. Allison was injured in the first period as he skated through the neutral zone in front of the team benches. After crossing the red line in full flight, he was met with a knee-to-knee hit by Atlanta defens |

Brodeur's latest effort was a 24-save effort against the hapless Atlanta Thrashers on Wednesday. He denied everything the winless club had to offer until the waning seconds, when sophomore phenom Ilya Kovalchuk beat him off a scramble in front of the net with 1.7 seconds remaining.

| (MySportsbook) - After nearly two weeks of the season one thing is rather clear -- both the Atlanta Thrashers and Florida Panthers, members of the infamous Southeast Division, have a lot of growth ahead of them if they aspire to make the playoffs. Atlanta entered Monday night's contest at the Office Depot Center with an 0-4-0-1 mark, while the Panthers were 1-3-0-1. Florida's lone victory had come against the Thrashers in overtime earlier this month. Well, the Cats can now claim two triumphs over their still |

| Sunrise, FL (MySportsbook) - The Atlanta Thrashers try to avoid their sixth straight loss to open the season tonight when they visit the Florida Panthers at the Office Depot Center. At 0-4-0-1 the Thrashers are off to the worst start in the franchise's young and miserable history. In 2000-01 the Thrashers began 0-3-2 and didn't notch their first win until the seventh game. One night after getting humiliated, 8-5, by Tampa Bay, Atlanta dropped a 5-4 home decision to the New York Islanders Saturday. Curt Fraser |

| (MySportsbook) - Well, the tiny amount of optimism that surrounded the Atlanta Thrashers before the season has pretty much evaporated into the Georgia sky. The team's fourth campaign, which was supposed to be one of progress, has been anything but to this point, as Curt Fraser's troops are 0-3-0-1 thus far. And the Thrashers can't even claim they've been victims of the schedule. The defeats have come at the hands of Carolina, Florida, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, and of that bunch, only the Hurricanes were a pla |
