Last night’s game belonged to Sean Avery. He finally shook off the milquetoast impostor that’s taken over his body and returned to being the "love him, hate him" Sean Avery we’ve all come to love or hate. And it resulted in his best game of the year, as he led the Rangers to a 5-2 victory.

Kendry Morales went in went in Round Five and Billy Butler in Round Eight shows one the depth at this position.
