That was right before this current slide in which Atlanta has scored three goals and fallen four points behind Boston, which holds the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Thrashers fell 2-1 at home to Nashville on Tuesday.
“We’re not out of it,” winger Chris Thorburn said. “We’ve still got some games left, but we’ve got to start putting some wins together instead of losses.”
The Thrashers fell behind 2-0 after one period and finished 0 for 2 on the power play, extending their drought to 10 chances with the man advantage during this skid.
