Skoula scores 2 goals in Pens' win over Thrashers
ATLANTA (AP) Defenseman Martin Skoula wasn't thinking hat trick. In fact, he had never scored two goals in a game before Saturday night. Skoula scored his goals - one in each of the first two periods - and the Pittsburgh Penguins held off the Atlanta Thrashers in a 3-2 victory. Atlanta scored both goals in the third period, the last by Maxim Afinogenov with 18 seconds left. (MORE)
