Rich Peverley notched the winner in the
shootout and Slava Kozlov added insurance as Atlanta rallied from a two-goal
deficit to down St. Louis, 3-2, at Philips Arena. Peverley began the
shootout with a successful wrister then Andy McDonald of the Blues failed in
his chance. Kozlov added another score before Brad Boyes' had the puck poke-
checked away by Johan Hedberg. Boyes argued that his rebound, which was
lifted into the net, counted as a shot but the closest official immediately
waved off the goal. Tobias Enstrom and Ron Hainsey tallied in regulation
for the Thrashers, who snapped a two-game slide. Hedberg made 30 saves.
McDonald and David Perron scored for the Blues, who have dropped a season-high
five straight games. Ty Conklin took the loss despite stopping 38 shots.
