Brandon Dubinsky drilled his second goal of the season---and first in 17 games---past Isles netminder Evgeni Nabokov late in the first period Thursday, the start to a very strong all-around game which culminated in the popular Blueshirt being awarded the Broadway Hat in the post-game locker room. Dubinsky also added an assist on John Mitchell's empty-net goal in the third period, was a +2, delivered four hits, and logged 16:53 worth of ice-time Thursday, playing on an effective line alongside Mitchell and Brian Boyle. "The biggest thing is just my legs because there was a period of time where my legs weren't moving the way they needed to be, and I think it showed," Dubinsky said of his stronger play of late. "It showed in my play, my minutes, and my role on the team. So I have tried to go back and focus on that because that's how I am most effective." Rangers head coach John Tortorella had praise for Dubinsky following the game Thursday. "He has handled himself the right way, and has assessed himself properly throughout this," Tortorella said of Dubinsky. "He knows that he hasn't done the things he needs to do. He's working at that, and you need to get results sooner or later. Hopefully he'll continue to see how he has to play to get the right result." Share your thoughts on Dubinsky's performance below.
