TOP GAMEThrashers 6, Hurricanes 4Atlanta scores five goals in third-period flurryTwenty minutes of good hockey was all Atlanta needed last night. Rich Peverley scored the fourth of Atlanta's five third-period goals with 6:03 remaining to help the Thrashers rally past Carolina. Atlanta is 6-1-3 in its past 10 games. "I think we can still get better," said Bryan Little, who had two assists and set up Peverley's winner. "We only played one period tonight -- the third. Once we get that figured out, and once we play a full 60 minutes, we're going to be even more dangerous." Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and an assist; Evander Kane, Slava Kozlov, Marty Reasoner and Maxim Afinogenov also scored; and Tobias Enstrom had three assists for the Thrashers. Ondrej Pavelec made 32 saves.
