When Drury tried to trade former captain Jacob Trouba in the offseason and the latter refused waive his contract's no-trade clause, there was an effect on the locker room and it could have been the genesis of why the Rangers — the same team that came six wins away from a Stanley Cup within the last 12 months — began to break down.
Artemi Panarin had two goals, including an empty-netter, as the Rangers (4-0-2) extended their point streak to six games.
Artemi Panarin scored twice, Chris Kreider got the go-ahead goal with 9:38 left and the New York Rangers rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Thursday night.
