Kovalchuk has 17 goals against the Pens, not 13. And Pittsburgh hasn’t won a game in the ATL since 2004.

Yup, you’re right Logan, I got my goals and assists mixed up, thanks…

Not sure I understand your point about ‘04, the entry was the last matchup VS. the Thrashers, not the last matchup AT the Thrashers…
