(Sports Network) - The Atlanta Thrashers will aim for their sixth consecutive victory tonight, when they visit the struggling Tampa Bay Lightning at St. Pete Times Forum.

Atlanta is coming off Tuesday's comeback victory in Toronto. Slava Kozlov scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist as the Thrashers came from behind with five third-period goals in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Glen Metropolit added a goal and two assists and Marian Hossa scored his league-leading 21st goal of the season and chipped in with an assist for the Thrashers.

The five-game win streak ties a club record set from January 6-18 of last season.

Johan Hedberg stopped 17 shots for Atlanta.

The Thrashers' five-game winning streak has helped the club extend their lead in the Southeast Division to seven points over the Carolina Hurricanes.
