Respective late-season swoons have the New York Rangers and Atlanta Thrashers fading from the playoff picture. The Rangers hope to avoid a season high-tying fifth straight loss Friday night when they face the Thrashers, who will look to end their four-game skid and sweep the season series from New York for the first time since 2002-03. New York is in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, five points behind Boston for the final postseason spot - and a likely first-round matchup against Alex Ovechkin -led Washington. Atlanta is one point behind the Rangers, and tied with Tampa Bay for 10th.
The Rangers dropped five in a row Dec. 9-16, a stretch that included a 2-1 shootout defeat to Atlanta. Their latest skid grew to four Wednesday after a 6-3 loss at Atlantic Division rival New Jersey. Vinny Prospal, Erik Christensen and Brandon Prust helped the Rangers erase three one-goal deficits, but Henrik Lundqvist gave up a pair of late second-period goals to put the game out of reach. The Swedish Olympian, who had a career goals-against average of 1.75 against the Devils coming in, stopped 12 of 17 shots before being replaced by Alex Auld with less than five minutes to play in the middle frame.
