ATLANTA — Slava Kozlov broke out of his slump with his first goal of the season and the Atlanta Thrashers beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Sunday for their fourth consecutive victory.

Kozlov, who had 26 goals last season, put the Thrashers in front again with 8:01 left in the third period, converting a pass from Todd White after going scoreless in the first 16 games.

The Thrashers (10-6-1) won their second straight at home to even their record to 4-4 at Philips Arena. The Oilers lost their third in a row and sixth in seven games.

The Thrashers tied it at 2 on a power-play goal by Maxim Afinogenov with 22 seconds remaining in the second.
