NEW YORK (AP) - ragsSean Avery returned from a one-game benching and scored twice to help the New York Rangers earn a key 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday.
Avery sat out New York's win at Atlanta on Friday, but returned to the lineup and raised his agitating style to the level coach John Tortorella demanded. He got the Rangers even in the second period and drew three Philadelphia penalties, including two resulting in power plays.
Michal Rozsival netted the go-ahead goal in the second period as the Rangers climbed within one point of eighth-place Boston in the Eastern Conference playoff race. New York also shelved urges to retaliate against Dan Carcillo, who fought star forward Marian Gaborik in the teams' previous meeting on Jan. 21 and drew the Rangers' ire.

BEANTOWN BEATDOWN
PHILADELPHIA - Desperate to maintain their hold on eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, the Boston Bruins played one of their best games of the season Thursday night and made the Philadelphia Flyers play one of their worst.
The Bruins dominated from beginning to end, crushing the Flyers 5-1 in their own building to increase their lead over the ninth-place New York Rangers to five points.
"We had really good legs and everybody was ready to play," said Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, who returned to the lineup after missing Tuesday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs with a leg injury. "We made some simple-but-important plays to establish our forecheck. Without that, we couldn't put pressure on them. I thought we did a really good job with that and we created a lot of offensive chances by putting... [Read More]
