A season-high fifth straight win would push Atlanta into eighth place in the Eastern Conference past the Boston Bruins, who visit Philips Arena on Tuesday night. Atlanta’s postseason chances appeared to be sliding away during an 0-5-1 skid from March 6-14. The Thrashers managed eight goals over that stretch, but have responded with a scoring surge that has powered them to four straight victories and within one point of the Bruins. The Thrashers outscored opponents 18-9 over the past four contests, with Nik Antropov and Colby Armstrong netting four goals apiece. Antropov has 21 points in his last 16 games and leads the team with a career-best 63.
Tuukka Rask stopped 18 shots in a 4-0 victory over Atlanta on Dec. 30, Boston’s ninth in a row in the series. He made 32 saves in a 4-3 shootout win Nov. 19 in the most recent meeting at Philips Arena. The Thrashers have not beaten the Bruins since a 5-0 home victory Dec. 29, 2007. Rask gave his team a much-needed boost by stopping 23 shots in a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers on Sunday, coming within 3:04 of his fourth shutout of the season. The Bruins had dropped three of four and were booed off the ice following a 3-0 home loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday night.
