The season began with the highest expectations in franchise history, even with the off-season loss of their second-leading scorer, Marc Savard, to the Boston Bruins. Veteran centers Steve Rucchin, Niko Kapanen and Jon Sim were acquired in hopes help fill the loss of Savard. With NHL superstars Marian Hossa and Ilya Kovalchuk and a healthy goaltender, Kari Lehtonen, the Thrashers clinched the first playoff berth in franchise history following the Toronto Maple Leafs' 7–2 loss to the New York Rangers on April 1. They were eliminated from the playoffs on April 18, being swept by the Rangers in four straight games in the quarterfinals. 2 Regular season Season standings ATL ATL Playoffs The Thrashers qualified for the post-season for the first time in franchise history, while also capturing their first Southeast Division championship. Atlanta headed into the playoffs as the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference. The Thrashers had a highly disappointing playoff series against the New York Rangers, as they were upset in a four-game sweep with losses of 4–3, 2–1, 7–0, and 4–2.
