11/30/2008 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Keith Tkachuk scored once to notch his 1,000th career point, and help the St. Louis Blues take a 4-2 win over the Atlanta Thrashers at Philips Arena.
Tkachuk became just the 6th United States-born player to reach the milestone, and the 72nd NHL player all-time. Brad Boyes finished with a goal and an assist for St. Louis, which snapped a two-game slide.
Jay McClement and David Backes also scored for the Blues, while Chris Mason stopped 28 shots in the win.
Colby Armstrong and Niclas Havelid tallied for the Thrashers, who have lost three in a row and six of seven. Ondrej Pavelec faced 46 shots and stopped 43 in the loss.
"Ondrej played a hell of a game and we hung him out to dry," Havelid said. "We played 20 minutes of a 60-minute hockey game -- the first 20, and it wasn't good enough."
Backes got the scoring started with a wrister from the slot that beat Pavelec glove-side at 4:38 of the opening period. But Atlanta countered with two goals to grab the lead.
Armstrong fired in a backhander at 6:32, and Havelid's slapshot with 1:25 remaining gave the Thrashers a 2-1 edge going into the second period.
Atlanta held the lead for most of the middle frame, but Tkachuk had the power play equalizer with a little less than five minutes left. He got the puck over Pavelec's shoulder from the slot as he fell down.
"It was nice to go into the second period to get a goal to tie it up." Tkachuk said. "It was exciting to celebrate and have the guys come out on the ice. I was in the right place at the right time."
The teams remained tied going into the third frame, and at 11:45 Boyes put in the go-ahead goal with a shot to Pavelec's stick side from the slot.
The Blues held the lead down the stretch, and McClement's empty-netter with three ticks left sealed the win.
