Player Notes
May 19, 2008
Ilya Kovalchuk helped to lead the Russian National Team to the 2008 IIHF World Championship over Canada five to four, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:Kovalchuck scored late in the game to tie it and then scored in OT to seal the deal, a nice comeback from a suspension early in the tournament for fighting.

Ilya Kovalchuk isn't happy with the way that the season went in Atlanta this year, and he wasn't shy about it while speaking to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "I want to win something before my contract is up," Kovalchuk said. "Hopefully, we can make the right moves and go forward. Not stand in the same place..."It's six years here now and nothing really changed." When a guy with 50 goals in two of the last three seasons speaks, you would hope the organization will listen. The team lost Marian Hossa at the deadline this year because they couldn't pay him, and the same thing could happen in two years when Kovalchuck's contract runs out.

Ilya Kovalchuk scored two goals in the third period to lead the Thrashers to a 2-0 victory over the Lightning. Ilya now has 11 goals in his last 15 games, and with 52 markers on the year he has tied his career best mark from 2005-06. The Thrashers may be going nowhere, but Kovalchuk will remain a top-10 fantasy pick next season regardless of his linemates giving his dynamic offensive game.
