Atlanta Thrashers 5, Rangers 4 (SO): Things looked rosy with a three-goal lead late in the second period. But then things disintegrated. Steve Valiquette allowed a goal with 21 seconds to go before intermission. Then two more goals in the third period set up a shootout that went five rounds without a goal. How important will this squandered point be? Only time will tell. Valiquette did have his first NHL assist in the game. But that plus goals by Chris Drury, Nikolay Zherdev, Nik Antropov and Drury again went to waste. The Rangers won't get many opponents as easy as Atlanta the rest of the way.
