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.

The Devils will try to end a streak of six straight games without a power-play goal when the Columbus Blue Jackets visit the Prudential Center for the first time Tuesday night. New Jersey is trying to catch Pittsburgh for the Atlantic Division lead, and it would help if it had better play with the man advantage. The Devils are 0 for 17 in their last six games and have the league’s worst percentage since Jan. 8 at 10.3 percent. That lack of production contributed to the end of New Jersey’s five-game home win streak in Saturday’s 1-0 loss to St. Louis.

One of his 11 power-play goals has been scored with New Jersey, which acquired the five-time 40-goal scorer Feb. 4 from Atlanta. Center Travis Zajac has gone 15 games without a power-play goal while Rolston has come up empty in all nine games since the Olympic break. They are tied with six apiece for second on the team behind Zach Parise, who has eight. New Jersey may have a hard time getting untracked against Columbus, which has killed off 21 of opponents’ last 23 power-play chances and 10 straight. The Devils are 6-9-1 against Western Conference opponents, and are facing the Blue Jackets for the first time since a 2-1 road win Jan. 16, 2009.

The second-year coach will give Scott Clemmensen another start, and Nathan Horton will run the power play as the Panthers open a three-game trip against the last-place Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. Florida has dropped seven of nine on the road and lost two of three during its last trip through Canada in January. That trek started with a 3-2 loss at Toronto on Jan. 5 before falling in Montreal and capping the stretch with a win over Ottawa.

A strong performance on the road could go a long way to helping Florida gain ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The team is 11th in the standings, seven points behind eighth-place Boston. DeBoer is turning to Clemmensen in net again after he made 29 saves in Sunday’s 5-2 win over Tampa Bay to end a three-game slide. Tomas Vokoun, the Panthers’ No. 1 netminder and a contender for the Vezina Trophy, posted a 4.29 goals-against average in starting each game of the slide while getting pulled twice. Clemmensen is 6-6-0 with a 3.41 GAA in 16 games.

The Southeast Division rivals will try to begin a late run at the expense of each other Tuesday night at the St. Pete Times Forum. The Hurricanes seem unlikely to be able to overcome a 5-17-5 start to reach the playoffs. They are tied for 12th in the Eastern Conference, eight points behind eighth-place Boston with 10 games remaining. Carolina earned back-to-back overtime wins over Washington and Pittsburgh last week, but could not defeat a third straight division leader and fell 5-3 to Buffalo on Sunday. The weary Hurricanes, playing their third game in four days, gave up five goals in the first 32 minutes.

The Hurricanes won all three games at Tampa last season but lost 5-2 in their most recent visit Oct. 10. On the verge of missing the playoffs for the third straight season, the Lightning are also eight points behind Boston with 10 games left. Five consecutive regulation defeats and a 2-11-1 record since Feb. 10 may have sunk Tampa Bay’s chances. A lack of offense is mostly to blame for the current skid, as Tocchet’s club has scored seven times over the past five games. Vincent Lecavalier and Steve Downie have accounted for most of the production during that span.

The injury-depleted Flyers look to win for just the second time in six games Tuesday night when they visit the Ottawa Senators. Philadelphia suffered a major blow last Tuesday, when goalie Michael Leighton suffered a season-ending ankle injury during a shootout loss at Nashville. The team had already lost primary goaltender Ray Emery for the season in February.

Carter, the Flyers’ leader with 33 goals and 60 points, is out three to four weeks with a broken bone in his left foot he suffered when he was hit by a shot in the first period of Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Atlanta. The injury will end Carter’s streak of 286 consecutive games played - the third-longest in team history. Carter is hopeful he can be back for the playoffs. The Flyers are tied with Montreal for sixth, but they’re just four points ahead of ninth-place Atlanta. The injuries are already taking a toll on Philadelphia, which has dropped four of five while scoring two goals or fewer in three of those defeats.

Rinne will try to lead the Nashville Predators to a seventh straight win Tuesday night when they host the Dallas Stars. Nashville has moved into commanding position for a playoff spot behind Rinne, who has posted a 1.15 goals-against average and a .959 save percentage in winning the Predators’ last six games. He has doubled his shutout total this season to six - fifth-most in the NHL. Rinne’s strong weekend helped put the Predators within a victory of their season-best seven-game winning streak from Nov. 12-25. He made 33 saves in a 1-0 overtime win over visiting Columbus on Saturday before a 23-save effort in Sunday’s 3-2 victory at St. Louis.

Dustin Boyd and Patric Hornqvist scored 48 seconds apart Sunday, with Boyd’s second goal of the contest the game-winner with 2:46 remaining. The Predators outshot the Blues 16-7 in the final period. Hornqvist, who has three goals and two assists in five games, was encouraged with Nashville’s strong play in the third. Rinne has started against Dallas once, making 27 saves in a 4-2 victory Oct. 31. The Predators have won two of three against the Stars this season, with all the meetings in the season’s first month. Dallas completed a 2-2-2 homestand with a 3-2 overtime loss to surging Phoenix on Sunday.

They are now in danger of returning home in fourth place and with the same point total they had before the trek. Mired in their worst losing streak in more than four years, the Sharks look to avoid going 0-6 on a road trip for the first time in 17 years when they face the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night. San Jose had a three-game win streak snapped with a 3-2 overtime loss to Florida at home March 13, but the Sharks set off on their 10-day swing with 96 points - three ahead of Chicago in the West and nine up on second-place Phoenix in the Pacific Division.

The Sharks, who have not lost each contest of a six-game trip since March 19-29, 1993, are sputtering offensively, scoring two goals or fewer five times during the skid. Prior to the slide, San Jose was averaging a conference-best 3.33 goals per game. The Sharks’ only goal against the lowly Oilers came when Ryane Clowe scored his 18th with 3:02 left. In addition to their offensive woes, the Sharks are struggling defensively. San Jose, in the midst of its longest losing streak since going 0-7-3 from Nov. 5-30, 2005, yielded at least four goals four times in the last five games.

Phoenix Coyotes weren’t expected to come close to the playoffs, let alone contend for the Western Conference’s best record. With less than three weeks left in the regular season, this once-downtrodden club is tied atop the West with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Coyotes look to set a franchise record with a 10th straight victory Tuesday night in Chicago and move ahead of the Blackhawks in the teams’ second meeting in four days. Phoenix was tied for the West’s second-worst record in 2008-09, and expectations were low heading into this season as the team filed for bankruptcy over the summer and Wayne Gretzky stepped down as coach in late September.

Phoenix has picked up a number of points lately via the shootout, including each of the last three wins and five of seven. One of the Coyotes’ shootout wins came against the Blackhawks on Saturday night. Chicago led 2-0 in the second period and 4-2 in the third, but Phoenix - the only Western team the Blackhawks haven’t defeated this season - came charging back to win 5-4. Lee Stempniak scored twice and Vrbata had the lone shootout goal for the Coyotes, who are one win away from sweeping this season series for the first time in the franchise’s 30-year history.

Vancouver Canucks have won four straight over the Edmonton Oilers, but this trip to Rexall Place can’t be considered an easy game. The Oilers have knocked off two straight contenders to start this four-game homestand heading into Tuesday night’s matchup with the Northwest Division-leading Canucks. Vancouver fell 2-1 at Edmonton on Oct. 19 before winning the next four meetings. Western Conference points leader Henrik Sedin has eight of his 95 points against the Oilers this year and brother Daniel has the same total in three games versus Edmonton. The Canucks are 10 for 19 on the power play during the four-game run, with nine different goal scorers connecting on the man advantage.

The league-worst Oilers, however, are playing with confidence as they look for their first three-game win streak since a five-game run Dec. 3-11. They beat Detroit 3-2 in a shootout on Friday before a 5-1 victory over San Jose on Sunday. Rookie Devan Dubnyk earned his first victory Friday and nearly recorded his first shutout Sunday before Ryane Clowe scored with 3:02 left. Dubnyk, 2-8-2 with a 3.75 GAA, made 27 saves against the Sharks. The Canucks completed a 3-1-1 homestand with a 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit on Saturday.

Anaheim Ducks’ current winning streak has kept their playoff hopes alive. In order to reach the postseason, however, they’ll have to pass the Calgary Flames in the standings. After a strong finish to an extended homestand, the Ducks look to match a season high with their fifth consecutive victory when they face the Flames on Tuesday night. With three weeks remaining in the regular season, both Calgary and Anaheim have work to do to reach the postseason. The Flames are ninth in the Western Conference, four points out of the eighth and final spot held by Detroit.

The Ducks, who’ve scored 18 goals during the winning streak, last won five straight from Jan. 5-13. Teemu Selanne scored for the 21st time this season to become the 18th player in NHL history to reach 600 career goals. Playing in his 16th and possibly final season, the 39-year-old Selanne is the Ducks’ all-time leader with 373 goals. Selanne has 36 career goals against Calgary, but none in his last five games versus the Flames. Anaheim won its first two games against Calgary this season before falling 3-1 on the road on Feb. 13. The Ducks have been outscored 34-21 while losing nine of 11 in Calgary.

The Bobcats open a seemingly easy portion of the schedule Tuesday night against a Washington Wizards team trying to avoid losing its 12th in a row. Charlotte won seven of eight heading into Friday’s game at Atlanta, and was on the verge of picking up another victory until Joe Johnson hit a fallaway jumper over three defenders just before time expired in overtime to hand the Bobcats a 93-92 loss. Taking the court less than 24 hours after that heartbreaking defeat, Charlotte came out flat in losing 77-71 to Miami. The Bobcats, in the mix with the Heat, Toronto and Chicago for the final three playoff spots in the East, scored their fewest points since a 92-59 loss at Boston in the season opener.

The Bobcats open a five-game homestand Wednesday against Minnesota - the worst team in the West - before another matchup with Washington and games against struggling teams Toronto and Philadelphia. They’ll look to head home on a positive note after shooting a season-low 29.2 percent Saturday. Stephen Jackson missed 17 of 21 from the field, but he still had a team-high 18 points thanks to 10-of-10 shooting from the foul line. Despite Saturday’s disappointing offensive showing, Charlotte was able to stay in the game thanks to another strong defensive performance. The Bobcats limited the Heat to 35.9 percent shooting and have held each of their last 10 opponents under 100 points.

Indiana Pacers are all but assured of missing the playoffs for the fourth straight season, but they don’t seem content to coast to the finish. After an impressive home win over a postseason contender, the Pacers will try to snap a nine-game road losing streak by recording their first season sweep of the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. Barring a spectacular run, Indiana will likely finish with its worst winning percentage since going 28-54 in 1988-89, but it hasn’t let another disappointing campaign affect their recent play. The Pacers have won three of four and swept both games during a brief homestand over the weekend. After topping the Pistons 106-102 on Friday, they routed Oklahoma City 121-101 two nights later.

Granger hasn’t been any easier on the Pistons, averaging 28.9 points against them over the past two seasons. Two days after the team said he would be out indefinitely with a cheek injury, Granger scored 29 points in Friday’s win, and he had a team-best 25 in a 105-93 victory in the previous trip to the Palace on Jan. 22. The Pacers are hoping a return there can help them avoid a season-high 10th straight loss away from home. Indiana dropped 10 in a row on the road last season Jan. 9-Feb. 18, but comes into Tuesday’s game searching for a sixth straight victory over Detroit following eight consecutive defeats in the series, including five in a row in Auburn Hills.

The Nuggets could use another big effort from their All-Star forward as they look to bounce back from their latest loss while trying for a fifth consecutive win over the Knicks on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. Anthony has enjoyed many big scoring nights during his stellar seven-year NBA career, but none bigger than his career-high 50-point effort in a 128-125 home win over New York on Nov. 27. He shot 17 of 28 from the field and his last two points came off free throws that helped secure the win.

Anthony has had little trouble scoring against the Knicks, averaging 29.6 points in 13 career games and 31.3 on 53.9 percent shooting in his last four at Madison Square Garden. He could be in store for another big night against the Knicks, who’ve allowed 117.8 points per game during their four-game skid against Denver. The Nuggets , who have won three of four at Madison Square Garden, are opening a five-game road trip that features visits to playoff contenders Boston, Toronto, Orlando and Dallas after this contest. Denver is coming off its second loss in 10 games, 102-97 at home to Milwaukee on Saturday.

A visit from the Los Angeles Clippers could help them get back on track. Looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat, the Mavericks try to bounce back with a seventh straight home win over the Clippers on Tuesday night. Dallas won 13 straight games from Feb. 17-March 10, and appeared ready to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers for the top spot in the Western Conference. However, after a 115-99 loss at New Orleans on Monday, the Mavericks have dropped two in a row and three four since that winning stretch.

Mavericks have a chance to turn things around against the Clippers, who’ve lost four in a row and 10 of 11 between the teams. Losers of 10 straight on the road overall, Los Angeles hasn’t won in Dallas since April 19, 2006. Still, Dallas likely needs to play a more complete game than it did against the Hornets to get back to its winning ways. Jason Terry scored 24 points and Dirk Nowitzki added 16 for the Mavericks, who shot 51.9 percent but blew an early 16-point lead and committed 18 turnovers, which New Orleans converted into 35 points. After holding its opponents to 97.1 points per game on 45.0 percent shooting during the extended winning streak, Dallas is giving up an average of 112.8 points on 53.8 percent shooting over the last four.
