valchuk's tenure in New Jersey. Presently, the Devils have to be extremely pleased at the return they're getting from the huge investment they made on the Russian sniper. Kovalchuk has always had his critics. In his early NHL years with the Atlanta Thrashers, he was called one-dimensional, even if that single dimension made him a Rocket Richard winner and one of the best pure scorers in the league. Although he may never score the way he used to in Atlanta, where he twice posted 52-goal seasons,

on, as the Calgary Flames welcome the Winnipeg Jets tonight at the Saddledome. Calgary was originally known as the Atlanta Flames before the franchise relocated to Alberta following the 1979-80 season. The Jets, of course, were known as the Atlanta Thrashers until moving to Winnipeg last summer. The Flames won their last two meetings with the Thrashers and have taken four of six overall in this series. The Thrashers never won a game in Calgary, losing all five trips to the Saddledome in regulat

for the new home team despite the lopsided loss. Presently, the hometown crowds at the MTS Centre have found more positive news to cheer about, as the Jets have defied all odds to make a serious run at a postseason berth. From the time the Atlanta Thrashers entered the NHL prior to the 1999-2000 season until they relocated to Winnipeg last summer, the franchise made just one trip to the playoffs. That came back in the spring of 2007, when Atlanta won the Southeast Division title only to get sw

"If we can keep it together and play the same way, I think we can play some good hockey late in the spring." Kovalchuk capped his three-goal game with an empty-netter and tallied his first hat trick since Feb. 15, 2009. That came in a meeting with the Ducks while he was a member of the Atlanta Thrashers.

changes could begin tonight in Minnesota. Following this game, the Jets return home to begin an eight-game homestand that runs through March 5 and would love to have their power play clicking by then. "This is going to be a tough hill to climb," Noel said. "To me this is the true test of character. We are going to see it." The Jets franchise has won its past three against the Wild and the former Atlanta Thrashers snapped a three-game skid in Minnesota in their last trip there on Feb. 12, 2010.
Caps hope to stay in first as they battle Jets Thu Feb  9 10:46:17 2012 EST
the Capitals, Winnipeg has done most of its damage at home this year, boasting a 16-8-2 mark at the MTS Centre and a 9-16-4 record on the road. The Jets will visit Pittsburgh on Saturday before returning to Winnipeg to face the New York Islanders on Tuesday. The Jets are 1-1-1 against Washington this year after they won the final three meetings of last year's season series while they were still known as the Atlanta Thrashers. The Jets/Thrashers franchise has lost 10 of its last 11 games in D.C.

The Lightning had won 12 in a row over the Jets franchise before Winnipeg logged a 5-2 home win on Nov. 14, beating the Bolts for the first time since Oct. 3, 2009 when it was still known as the Atlanta Thrashers. The Jets haven't won at Tampa Bay since March 21, 2009, losing their past seven trips there. That doesn't make Tampa an ideal place for Winnipeg to continue its six-game road trip, which began with setbacks at the Hurricanes and Rangers be

ake Wheeler also had a goal for the Jets, while Ondrej Pavelec made 31 saves in the win. Winnipeg forwards Alexander Burmistrov (undisclosed) and Tim Stapleton (flu- like symptoms) are questionable for this evening's contest. The Bruins and Jets have split a pair of meetings this year with each club winning at home. Boston has taken 13 of the last 16 meetings in this series and the Jets' franchise has lost nine straight in Beantown since the Atlanta Thrashers won at TD Garden on March 31, 2007.

ng combined for 46 goals in the previous five encounters. The Jets won three straight over that span before the Kings recorded a 3-1 home win last year. The last time Los Angeles visited the Winnipeg franchise, it was routed 7-0 by the then Atlanta Thrashers on Nov. 13, 2009. Ondrej Pavelec made 38 saves to record the first of his nine career shutouts. Winnipeg comes into this meeting off a 4-1 triumph in Colorado, winning for the eighth time in 12 games to move into the eighth spot in the East

ly sits tied for 10th in the East with 33 points as it tries to recover from a 1-5-2 start. Cunneyworth was an assistant with Hamilton, Montreal's American Hockey League affiliate, a season ago and was also a former assistant coach with the Atlanta Thrashers. On Thursday, Louis Leblanc scored his first NHL goal, while David Desharnais and Erik Cole added scores as the Habs battled back from three one-goal deficits before falling short. Carey Price allowed four goals on 25 shots as Montreal went
