Poor, poor Thrashers. This year, it seemed they were finally ready for respectability again, as their offseason acquisitions really jumpstarted the offense. Now, after losing eight of 13 this month, Atlanta is making it harder and harder to convince Ilya Kovalchuk that hockey in Georgia is going anywhere. For a team lacking mental toughness, a trip to Philadelphia tonight probably isn’t what the doctor ordered.
Winners of seven of 10, the Flyers continue to improve under Peter Laviolette; they’re too talented not to. They still need more offense from Mike Richards, Claude Giroux and Simon Gagne as their top line but Jeff Carter has finally awakened. The sniper has eight goals in 12 games this month. He also has 10 goals in 17 career games versus Atlanta and should lead his team to a relatively easy win tonight.
