NEW YORK, March 14 (UPI) -- Sean Avery scored twice Sunday to power the New York Rangers past Philadelphia 3-1 in a crucial win.

Michal Rozsival scored the other New York goal while Erik Christensen and Chris Drury each notched pair of assists as New York won a second straight game to pull to within a point of idle Boston for the last Eastern Conference playoff spot.
