Lundqvist, Drury Lift Rangers Over Hurricanes

Henrik Lundqvist stopped all five shots in the shootout and Chris Drury scored the only goal in the tiebreaker to lift the New York Rangers to a 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night.

Drury beat Cam Ward with a deke to his backhand, and Lundqvist stopped Justin Williams to give New York its third win in seven games -- all post-regulation victories. Lundqvist pumped his arm and smacked the left post in celebration.

Lundqvist looked much better one night after allowing eight goals in a roller-coaster loss at New Jersey on Friday, and made 29 saves in his NHL-leading 17th win.

Markus Naslund and Blair Betts scored first-period goals for the Rangers, and Tuomo Ruutu and Ray Whitney responded for the Hurricanes in a matchup of teams coming off wild losses.
