Drury ignites Rangers
- Share via
NEW YORK -- Chris Drury brought his winning ways to Broadway on opening night.
Drury’s first goal in a Rangers uniform broke a third-period tie Thursday night and sparked a late scoring outburst that carried New York to a 5-2 victory over the Florida Panthers.
Signed this summer after helping the Buffalo Sabres eliminate the Rangers in the second round of last season’s playoffs, Drury put in a rebound 8:46 into the third period to give New York a 3-2 lead and begin a spurt of three goals in a 4:16 span.
Petr Prucha, Ryan Callahan and Martin Straka also scored in the third period as the Rangers turned a 2-1 deficit into a rousing victory.
