So a couple milestones to put on top of this two-game winning streak. Both Chris Drury and Scott Gomez entered the realm of 500-point scorers during tonight’s 2-1 win over the Devils. Shhhh . . . if we’re quiet maybe both of them will start playing on par with their paychecks.

Drury has been a disappointment this year strictly because everyone was expecting so much from him. He was Mr. Clutch in Buffalo and got his team the victories they needed. He shows up in New York City, new contract in hand, and doesn’t put up the numbers that the hype laid out for him. On top of that, his team is lousy and he’s on and off the third line.

So maybe this milestone – something that essentially means nothing to the team, and, having an idea about the character of Drury, probably not too much to the individual – will start the emergence of the Chris Drury we’ve all expected. And then maybe the emergence of the Rangers we’ve all expected?

Again, for another night in as many as I can count, Brandon Dubinsky was the best player on the ice for the Blueshirts. His second-period goal exemplified his two-way play. He intercepted a pass in the defensive zone, skated hard through the neutral zone and took a good, low slapshot. It wasn’t the best shot in the world, but it was effective. If Brodeur does make that save, it’s probably a long rebound. And how many times have we seen that goal scored when there’s an unchecked man streaking down the other side of the ice? Smart, hard-working play by a smart, hard-working player.

If he keeps playing the way he is now, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was the next Ranger to tally 500 points.

Brendan Shanahan looked like he was really laboring out there tonight. With the assortment of injuries he’s gone through this year, he looks like . . . well, a 38-year-old hockey player. He’s hurt his knee, hip, back, neck and every other common area of pain for man his age — especially a man that’s played ice hockey his whole life. He can still contribute, as his quick release shot hasn’t gone anywhere, but to see him out there with 30 seconds left and only a one goal lead was a little disconcerting. I’d rather not see that again.
