Atlanta at Ottawa

While it's a long shot, we think Atlanta has a decent shot at winning this game. Atlanta can score. They are averaging 3 goals per game on the season. If Atlanta can get to 3 goals here, they have a good shot as Ottawa is 15-17 when they allow 3 goals the past two seasons. The Thrashers have won four of the last six in this series including two of hte last three here in Ottawa. Atlanta is a rare team in that they are equally good on the road as they are at home. They have .500 marks across the board. Over the past two seasons, Atlanta is 15-12 vs. great teams (those outscoring opponents by 0.5+ goals per game). That includes a 7-4 mark on the road vs. the best of the best (those averaging 0.65+ goals per game). We'll take a flyer on the big underdog here.
