Thrashers Beat Rangers in Shootout 3-2, Dec. 14th '09

Game Highlights:


Two huge missed chances on open nets by Ales Kotalik and Sean Avery accent a spirited game (minus the first half of the 2nd) and in which the Rangers gave up their 2nd short-handed goal in 2 games, battled back after two one-goal deficits, only to lose in a shootout.

* For the first time this season (except for the games he lost while injured), Chris Drury was finally taken off the power play. Both Rangers' goals were scored on the power-play (Callahan, Gaborik).

* Ryan Callahan had two points (1-1-2) for the second time this season. The first was the November 5th 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers (also 1-1-2).

* Brandon Dubinsky returned after a 14-game hiatus with a broken hand, sustained in the November 7th 3-1 loss to the Calgary Flames.
