It has been a month since the Atlanta Thrashers traded away the player who holds nearly every offensive franchise record, but they’re not having problems scoring goals.Offense has never come easily for Atlanta, however, against Antero Niittymaki. The Thrashers look to continue their unlikely playoff push with a third straight victory Saturday night against the struggling Tampa Bay Lightning, who will likely have Niittymaki in net as the goalie tries to improve to 17-0-0 against Atlanta. The Thrashers figured to have a hard time replacing Ilya Kovalchuk’s offense when they dealt the team’s longtime goals and points leader to New Jersey on Feb. 4.

But after losing its first game without the Russian, Atlanta has averaged 4.0 goals during a 4-0-2 stretch that straddled the Olympic break. The team has won twice since the NHL resumed play, moving into an eighth-place tie in the Eastern Conference with the New York Rangers and Montreal. The Thrashers scored four goals in the first 15 minutes of their 6-3 win over the New York Islanders on Thursday night, getting major contributions from some of their newcomers. Niclas Bergfors, acquired from the Devils in the Kovalchuk trade, had his fourth goal in seven games with the Thrashers and added an assist, while Evgeny Artyukhin and Clarke MacArthur each scored in his Atlanta debut after trade deadline deals.
