Chris Drury had a hat trick and the Rangers beat the surging Lightning 5-2. Two of Drury's goals came on power plays, the other was short handed. In fact, the much maligned power play was responsible for 3 goals tonight as Nik Zherdev set-up Ryan Callahan for the game's first goal. Later, Zherdev would set-up Marc Staal for his first goal of the season. To his credit, Rozsival shot more tonight and added a pair of assists himself. Hank was spectacular as Tampa Bay was really brining the heat. Overall, a good win. The Rangers are spending a lot of time trying to tip the puck at their blue-line to create odd man rushes. They're not good at it yet, but it bears watching if the turnovers don't kill the practice first. Go Rangers!
