Strong 2005 finish needed
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Thrashers could have all their injured goalies healthy by New Year’s. How much that really matters may depend on the rest of 2005.
After Thursday night’s dramatic win at New Jersey, the Thrashers have six games remaining this month. They are as important as any that will be played later in the season.
The Thrashers took five points out of possible six during their three-game homestand, beating Columbus and Detroit around a shootout loss to Chicago. They built on that with the 3-2 overtime victory Thursday night vs. the Devils. Atlanta has four home games remaining in December, plus a return trip to New Jersey and a game at surprising Buffalo.
How many points — out of a possible 12 — do you think the Thrashers need the rest of the month to not drop out of playoff contention?
