The Thrashers, already eliminated from playoff contention, ended a five-game losing streak.

Florida's loss pushed the Panthers to the brink of elimination from The Post-season chase.

Mark Recchi gave Atlanta a 2-1 lead with 6:13 to play and Holik made it a two-goal game with 51 seconds to play.

Holik's late goal turned out to be the game-winner when Radek Dvorak scored with 1.9 seconds remaining.

Florida played its 45th one-goal game of the season. The Panthers are 22-15-8 in those contests.
