Hurricanes' Jack Drury: Two points on dream line assignment
Rotowire
Drury had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 win against the Rangers on Wednesday.
Drury opened the scoring in opening frame when he wired a near-perfect shot from a tight angle below the left circle that went over Igor Shesterkin's right shoulder. He'd gone seven games without a point and eight without a goal. But Drury was centering the NHL's top scorer, Martin Necas, and last season's breakout star, Seth Jarvis, on Wednesday and didn't look out of place. Grab him off the wire in case this gig sticks. Drury could be a fantasy surprise.

Hurricanes' Jack Drury: Tickles twine Saturday
Rotowire
Drury scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.
Drury is providing decent depth offense in a fourth-line role this season. He has four points over his last seven contests, and that gives him five points through 13 outings overall. The 24-year-old center has added 15 shots on net and a plus-6 rating. It's not enough offense to get fantasy attention in most formats, but Drury is a player to keep an eye on if the Hurricanes get bit by the injury bug at any point in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Jack Drury: Scores game-winner Saturday
Rotowire
Drury scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
Drury's first goal of the season came at 16:49 of the second period, and it stood as the game-winner. The 24-year-old center is stuck in a fourth-line role, and it doesn't look like that will be changing any time soon. He has two points, nine shots on net, four hits and a plus-1 rating through seven appearances this season. He put up 27 points over 74 regular-season outings in a similar assignment last year, but that's not enough to make a fantasy impact at a position as deep as center.

Rotowire
Drury notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
Drury saw 14:08 of ice time Saturday, and his playing time has been trending in the right direction lately. He's still the fourth-line center for the Hurricanes, so he'll struggle to put up consistent offense barring a move up the lineup. Drury's assist was his first point of the year to go with three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating through four outings.

It was Drury's third goal and sixth point in 23 contests this season. The 23-year-old is serving primarily on the fourth line and has averaged 10:00 of ice time, so his offensive production isn't bad when measured against his role.
