 ATLANTA (AP) - Bobby Holik scored on a pass from Ilya Kovalchuk in the closing minutes and the Atlanta Thrashers overcame a three-goal deficit Thursday night to beat the Calgary Flames 6-4 for only their second win in 12 games.
Kovalchuk scored into an empty net with 1:01 remaining, completed a hat trick and pushing his goal total to 48 this season.
The loss put a dent in the Flames' playoff chances. Calgary entered the game in a virtual tie for first place in the Northwest Division, sixth overall in the Western Conference, but several teams were within points of the Flames in a bid for one of eight playoff berths with 11 games left.
