Thrashers Team Report
(Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:30:26 PDT)
So much for Atlanta's scoring woes.

The Thrashers' early scoring outburst was so unexpected that they even managed to chase Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller from the net just 5:40 after the opening faceoff. The last time the two teams met, Miller stopped 31 of 32 shots in Buffalo's 2-1 overtime win.
To Atlanta's credit, the team didn't wilt after jumping out to an early 2-0 lead.

After Miller's early exit, Patrick Lalime shut out the Thrashers until Slater's tiebreaking goal...
