The Atlanta Thrashers have won consecutive games for the first time this season, scoring the 3-2 decision on the road in Montreal last night. Ilya Kovalchuk scored the decisive game winner in the extra session. The Thrashers improved to 4-8 overall for the season, and have won 4 of their 6 games with Don Waddell serving as interim head coach. Waddell added the duties in addition to his regular role as general manager, after the firing of Bob Hartley as head coach.
From the NFL, the Atlanta Falcons are back to work out of a bye week, looking ahead to action this Sunday at home against San Francisco. The game is in danger of not being televised locally for the first time since 2002. A streak of 56-straight sellouts at the Georgia Dome is in jeopardy, with still 3-thousand tickets remaining for the contest. If they are not sold by 1pm Thursday, the game would be blacked-out locally in the metro Atlanta area.
