| 5th October, 2007 - 8:43 am |  Newsday - With 15 game-winning playoff goals in his career and a Stanley Cup on his resume, Chris Drury has a penchant for the big moment.
In his Rangers debut Thursday night in the season opener, Drury lived up to his reputation.
With the Rangers slumbering through most of the first two periods at Madison Square Garden, Petr Prucha provided a spark that Drury fanned into a game-turning flame.
Prucha forged a 2-2 tie at 6:07 of the third period with a shot from the left faceoff dot that snuck through the arm and side of Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun.
Drury - the free agent known as Captain Clutch - then knocked in a rebound of Jaromir Jagr's shot for his first goal as a Blueshirt at 8:46 of the third period. The goal was followed by Ryan Callahan's 18 seconds later and Martin Straka's at 13:02 that closed out a rousing 5-2 win. [READ] |
