PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Goals by Artem Anisimov and Chris Drury and solid goalkeeping by Henrik Lundqvist Saturday carried the New York Rangers to a 2-1 win over Philadelphia.

Drury got the first goal 5:16 into the first period when his low, stick-side shot beat Brian Boucher and Anisimov got what turned out to be the game-winner 4:46 into the second when his backhander deflected off a defender and eluded Boucher.
