Thrashers Team Report
(Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:39:53 PST)

One thing is clear at this point of the season: When the Thrashers' power play fails, so do they.

With a chance to extend their winning streak to five games, the Thrashers went 1-for-7 with the man advantage against the Bruins on Thursday.

As strong as the power play has been this season, the team met its match against the Bruins, who came into the game with the NHL's third-best penalty-killing unit. As much as they tried, the Thrashers just weren't able to get the puck on Ilya Kovalchuk's stick often enough.

While Kovalchuk scored the lone power-play goal on a blistering slap shot in the second period, the Bruins' penalty killers stuck close to the Russian sniper for the rest of the night, limiting his scoring chances.
