Next for Thrashers

Who: vs. Penguins

When: 3 p.m. Sunday

TV; radio: None; 1240 AM

  • The Thrashers conclude their season with a non-televised game against the Penguins; they come off Friday night's 6-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
  • The Penguins come off Friday night's 4-3 shootout win over the Islanders; it was their third straight win and they still have a chance, pending the Flyers' game on Saturday night, to win the Atlanta Division and second seed in the Eastern Conference.

  • Defenseman Tobias Enstrom (shoulder) and forward Radek Dvorak (concussion-like symptoms) are  out. Eric Boulton (knee) is questionable.
