NEW YORK - When the New York Rangers managed to sign both Chris Drury and Scott Gomez on the same day this offseason, they also made a commitment to youngster Brandon Dubinsky. Getting a cup of coffee with the Blueshirts after a 21-goal season with their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolfpack, Dubinsky went scoreless in six games last season. This season, however, Dubinsky has quickly developed into a solid two-way center, netting nine goals and adding 14 assists for 23 points. Earning praise from both the Rangers coaching staff and his teammates for his on-ice grit and poise, Dubinsky’s ice time has steadily increased as the season has gone on. As a result, his teammates have gotten a better glimpse of him and are now extremely comfortable with what he does on the ice.
