ATLANTA — Stephen Weiss and Radek Dvorak scored second-period goals and Tomas Vokoun stopped 38 shots and the Florida Panthers beat the slumping Atlanta Thrashers 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Vokoun has allowed only one goal in each of his three straight wins in a span of a week.
The Panthers have won three of their past four and ended a streak of three straight losses in Atlanta.
The Thrashers suffered their sixth loss in their past seven games since a 4-3 win at Florida on Nov. 3.
Poor defense has hurt the Thrashers.
Zach Bogosian's first goal of the season, a long shot from the right point, gave Atlanta a 1-0 lead in the first period.
Vokoun denied the Thrashers the rest of the way.
Speed demons
Over the past five years, few racers have proven able to beat Carlos Checa at Miller Motorsports Park — other than Checa himself.
