NHL Scores: Ilya Kovalchuk Scores Deciding Goal in Shootout as Thrashers Top Leafs

Atlanta, Ga. 10/24/2007 11:48:44 AM

Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and two assists in regulation and then added the game-winner in the shootout as the Atlanta Thrashers (2-7-0) beat the Toronto Maple Leafs (3-4-3) 5-4 on Tuesday night.

 

The Thrashers very nearly had the game won in regulation but Toronto’s Alexei Ponikarovsky snuck the puck past Johan Hedberg with ten seconds left in the third period to tie the score 4-4 and force an overtime.

 

Just as the Leafs scored late to tie the game, they opened the contest with a goal from Mats Sundin 13 seconds into the first period for a 1-0 lead. Tobias Enstrom would tie the score for Atlanta before Kovalchuk netted the go-ahead goal with 33 seconds left in the period.

 

After Hal Gill scored in the second period for the Leafs the score was once again even but Eric Perrin put the Thrashers in front once more at the 14:12 mark. Toronto then knotted it up two minutes later when Nik Antropov found the back of the net.

 

Todd White gave the Thrashers a 4-3 lead 13 minutes into the third period and it looked like that would hold up until Ponikarovsky scored with ten seconds left on the clock.

 

While Hedberg was less than impressive in regulation he did come up with two big saves in the shootout to give Atlanta just their second win of the year.
