Atlanta at Carolina

Carolina's offense has dried up while their defense remains poor. Atlanta has averaged 3.2 goals per game vs. division foes this year on way to a 12-8 mark. The Thrashers are 14-9 this season vs. poor defensive teams (those allowing 2.9+ goals per game). We like Atlanta here vs. a struggling Carolina offense. Atlanta is holding their last five opponents to 2.4 goals per game and they are 23-9 UNDER the past two seasons on the road vs. losing teams in second-half play. They are also 9-1 UNDER revenging a home loss this season. We'll back the Thrashers and the UNDER here.
