Senators 8, Thrashers 1
OTTAWA (AP) -- Marian Hossa had a career-high and team-record four goals -- including three straight in the first period -- to lead the financially troubled Ottawa Senators to an 8-1 victory Thursday night over the Atlanta Thrashers.
Ottawa, which leads the Eastern Conference with 53 points, played its first game since failing to meet its player payroll after a complex refinancing deal fell through two days earlier.
Todd White -- selected earlier in the day as the NHL's player of the month for December -- Jody Hull, Shaun Van Allen and Radek Bonk also scored for the Senators. They have lost just three of their last 26 games (19-3-4-0).
Hossa scored on Ottawa's third, fifth and seventh shots as the Senators took a 4-0 lead and chased Atlanta goalie Byron Dafoe 12:03 in.
