Drury notched an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Drury snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on Parker Kelly's second-period tally. After getting traded to the Avalanche in late January, Drury initially filled a third-line role, but he's been bumped down to the fourth line following the team's acquisition of Charlie Coyle at the deadline. Drury now has 14 points, 84 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across 57 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Drury scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
Drury has scored in consecutive contests and has a total of four tallies on 21 shots across 13 games with the Avalanche. The 25-year-old is centering the third line, and while it hasn't led to consistent offense, he's at no risk of slipping out of the lineup at this time. He's produced seven goals, 13 points, 81 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances between Colorado and Carolina in 2024-25.

Avalanche's Jack Drury: Deposits go-ahead goal
Rotowire
Drury scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
Drury ended his eight-game point drought with the tally, which ended up being the game-winner. The 25-year-old center has been playing on the third line lately, and while his value hasn't shown up in offense, he offers a bit of defensive stability and good faceoff skills, areas that the Avalanche were lacking in the bottom six. For the season, Drury has six goals, 12 points, 79 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 51 appearances between Colorado and Carolina.

Rotowire
Drury recorded three shots on goal in 13:00 of ice time in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over the Devils.
Drury is in the midst of an eight-game pointless streak, but he has now recorded seven shots on goal in the past three games. Despite the recent offensive struggles, an area that the former Hurricane has excelled in all season is in the faceoff circle. After going 9-4 on Wednesday, the 25-year old has won 57 percent of his faceoffs, the ninth-best win rate in the NHL among those with at least 500 draws.

Avalanche's Jack Drury: Tallies in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Drury scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
Drury has scored twice on four shots over three games with the Avalanche. They've had him playing on the third line for now, but he could push Casey Mittelstadt for a second-line spot at some point. Drury is at five goals, 11 points, 64 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 42 appearances between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes this season, well behind the pace that saw him earn 27 points across 74 regular-season outings last year.

Rotowire

Over his first 28 appearances of the season, Drury had logged three goals, six assists, 19 blocked shots and 15 hits while averaging 13:09 of ice time.

Hurricanes' Jack Drury: Pockets assist Thursday
Rotowire
Drury notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.
Drury continues to hold down a second-line assignment, which has yielded three points for him over the last five games. The 24-year-old may have to adjust to the role, as he had been on the fourth line for most of the first six weeks of the campaign. He's done a decent job as a depth scorer with nine points, 41 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-7 rating over 26 appearances.

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: Posts helper in win
Rotowire
Drury notched an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.
Drury set up Jackson Blake's goal in the first period. With three points over his last five games, Drury has done a decent job of chipping in from the fourth line. The 24-year-old center has four points, 12 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 11 contests this season, but the limited role and lack of category coverage make him a low-end fantasy option at best.

Hurricanes' Jack Drury: Pockets helper in loss
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.
