Philadelphia Flyers- (26-22-3) vs. Atlanta Thrashers- (23-21-8) The Story: The Flyers are coming into this game looking to continue their hot streak as of late and wondering if this is the last time they’ll see superstar Ilya Kovalchuk in an Atlanta uniform. Atlanta are most likely pondering the same thing. When will Kovalchuk be dealt and to who? The Flyers have been linked to having interest in the sharp-shooting forward, but so have dozens of other teams around the NHL. It’s become a tough situation for Atlanta because its obvious that nobody would want to deal away their top player. In reality, Kovalchuk can’t stay there. He has to move to a bigger market and with a team that can challenge for the playoffs year after year.
