    NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Exactly five months after helping theBuffalo Sabres defeat the New York Rangers in the playoffs,Chris Drury did the same for his new team in theirhighly-anticipated home opener.


    Drury had two assists, including one on the opening shift of thegame, and scored the go-ahead goal 8:46 into the third periodto lead the Rangers to a 5-2 victory over the Florida Pantherson Thursday night.


    With the exception of defenseman Michal Rozsival's goal just 37seconds into the contest, the Rangers were outplayed throughmost of the first 40 minutes. They managed just five shots inthe first period and were outshot, 21-9, through two.

    That all changed in the third as the Rangers scored three timesin a span of just under three minutes. After Petr Prucha nettedthe tying goal, Drury went to work.


    After a turnover that Martin Straka helped create, captainJaromir Jagr took the puck and fired a shot that goaltenderTomas Vokoun committed to. That left him out of position forDrury, who charged through the slot and put home the rebound.

    It was a similar play to the goal that tied the game late inregulation in Game Five of the Eastern Conference semifinals onMay 4. The Rangers were eight seconds away from taking athree-games-to-two lead in that series, but Drury scored on arebound with 7.7 seconds remaining in regulation and the Rangerslost in overtime.


    Their season ended two days later on home ice.


    After Drury scored, Ryan Callahan netted an unassisted goal justeight seconds later for a 4-2 edge. A little over four minuteslater, New York sealed it on a tally by Straka.


    Defenseman Marek Malik had a career-high three assists as he setup the goals by Prucha, Drury and Straka.


    But before Malik and his teammates got it going in the third, itappeared to be a disappointing night for the Rangers.

    After Drury set up Rozsival's wrist shot, the Panthers dominatedplay and got second-period goals from Brett McLean and NathanHorton to surge ahead.


    Henrik Lundqvist stopped 27 shots for New York, which won itsthird consecutive season opener for the first time in 50 years.

    Vokoun made 20 saves for Florida, which has lost six of sevenhere.
