| Montreal, Quebec (Best E Casino) - The Atlanta Thrashers hope to put the brakes on a two-game losing streak tonight as they venture north of the border to battle the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre. Atlanta, which sits in the cellar of the Southeast Division with a league- worst 12 points, comes into Tuesday's tilt after getting waxed, 6-3, by the Washington Capitals on Saturday. However, help is on the way tonight as goaltender Byron Dafoe, who inked a deal last Wednesday, is expected to make his Thrashe |

Saturday's win was the 2,500th in Bruins history, and their 1,500th on home ice. The Montreal Canadiens are the only other NHL team to have reached those plateaus. The B's may get some relief tonight as right wing Martin Lapointe said Monday that his broken foot is healed and he'll probably play versus the Flames. Lapointe has missed 16 games since su |

Mario Lemieux and Co. dropped both contests in overtime, falling each instance after battling back to knot the score. On Wednesday the Pens suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Habs, and their winless streak reached seven games (0-3-1-3). Jan Hrdina scored twice in the losing cause as the Penguins also fell t |
