@HockeyMonster96-nope. they're 18 points out of a palyoff spot as of today. they're pretty much finished.               

@handsofcement -- are the trashers in the playoffs?               

Reasoner scores for ATL in OT. Oilers get a point but they needed the win tonight.               

Thrashers tie it at 3               

Penner looks like he actually wants to play tonight.               

Oilers trailed 2-1 after 1 but goals from O'Sullivan and Nilsson make it 3-2 Oil four minutes into the second               

that goes for Staurday's game against Colorado as well. Moreau is back tonight which is good news.               

Must win for the Oilers tonight. They've got to be able to win games like this if they want to solidify a playoff spot.               

A disastrous 3rd period did the 'Canes in this game. They led 3-1 with less than 20 minutes to play and couldn't close it out. Terrible.               

Ilya Kovalchuk scores an empty-net goal to seal the win for Atlanta. 'Canes lose 5-3 after an awful 3rd period.
