ATLANTA — Johan Hedberg made 34 saves for his first shutout in two years and the Atlanta Thrashers stopped a 14-game losing streak against the Philadelphia Flyers with a 1-0 victory Saturday night.

Rich Peverley scored his 10th goal, his sixth on the power play, midway through the second and helped the Thrashers overcome a sluggish third period.

Ending what was the NHL’s longest current losing streak against one opponent, the Thrashers won their third straight overall. They have just 12 points at Philips Arena, however, after starting the game with the league’s third-fewest points total at home.

Philadelphia has lost two straight and five of six. The Flyers hadn’t lost to Atlanta since Nov. 18, 2005.

While his teammates managed only 17 shots on goal, including just three in the third, Hedberg stopped 13 shots in the final 20 minutes for his 12th career shutout.

Peverley used a sweeping wrister 11:07 into the second to make it 1-0. Lowering his right knee from the bottom of the left circle, Peverley beat goalie Brian Boucher’s stick side after taking Pavel Kubina’s pass from the top of the right circle.

Colby Armstrong’s night ended 12 seconds into the third when the Atlanta forward and Philadelphia’s Arron Asham took off their gloves.

Armstrong got 5 minutes for charging, 5 minutes for fighting and a game misconduct. Asham was penalized 2 minutes for instigating, 5 for fighting and also was given a 10-minute misconduct.

Peverley has at least one point in 17 of Atlanta’s 23 games.

Hedberg, whose shutout was his first since Nov. 16. 2007 at Carolina, improved 5-2-0. Boucher dropped to 2-3-0.
