At ESPN.com, Scott Burnside reports on Chris Drury and Daniel Briere finding their game after a season of struggles..."Ask a foster kid what it's like going into a new home," Rangers coach Tom Renney said when asked about the challenges in integrating a new player, even an elite player like Drury or Briere...
...In his 25 games prior to Friday's loss, Drury was plus-11 and chipped in 11 goals and seven assists. He'll still end up well shy of last season's career-best 37 goals (he has 23 with seven games left), but as far as the Rangers are concerned, those numbers are irrelevant given what he is capable of in the playoffs...
...while Drury's offensive numbers weren't there for more than half the season, his grittiness, ability to win a faceoff or block a shot have never been missing. And now that his clutch goal scoring is making a more frequent appearance, he is performing as advertised.
