Ilya Kovalchuk’s two-goal performance last week against the Capitals wasn’t enough to keep the Atlanta Thrashers from losing a third straight to Washington. After suffering an injury that will keep him sidelined for the next three to five weeks, Kovalchuk won’t get the chance to help his team in the latest meeting between the Southeast Division rivals. The Thrashers return to the ice Thursday night for the first time since losing their best player as they host Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, winners of five straight.

Atlanta now faces the task of trying to end a three-game losing streak to the Capitals (7-2-2) without their biggest offensive threat. After losing Kovalchuk on Saturday, Atlanta fell 4-3 to San Jose, unable to complete a rally from a 3-0 deficit. Kovalchuk, who can become an unrestricted free agent in July, has been relatively durable over the last few years, missing three games in each of the last two seasons and playing all 82 contests in 2006-07.

Ovechkin, who has 11 goals and eight assists this season, has been held scoreless in only two games. He scored twice in a 4-2 win over visiting Philadelphia on Tuesday. Washington trailed 2-0 in the second period before Ovechkin tallied his first of the night. Alexander Semin, who missed the previous two games, scored the tiebreaking goal 5:24 into the third period, and Ovechkin added an empty-netter in the final seconds.
