NHL announces shocking news concerning Avalanche's recent trade acquisition

Drury joined the Colorado Avalanche through the Mikko Rantanen trade with the Carolina Hurricanes. The three-team deal, which also included the Chicago Blackhawks, saw Martin Necas and two draft picks head to Colorado as well.

Coby Maeir from NHL.com writes that since the 2000-01 season, the only player in franchise history to have a higher face-off winning percentage (minimum 50 face-offs taken) through seven playoff games is Lars Eller (65.3%).

He stepped it up even more during the playoffs, winning 38 of 61 face-offs (68%) across seven games.

The New York, New York native scored his first goal as an Avalanche at Madison Square Garden on January 26th during a 5-4 victory over the New York Rangers. Just two nights later, he began his first of two multi-game goal streaks by finding the net against the New York Islanders. His second streak spanned wins against the Minnesota Wild and Pittsburgh Penguins on February 28th and March 4th, respectively.

Heading into the 2025-26 season, Drury has one year left on his contract. He's just 14 games shy of reaching 200 career appearances and needs 45 more points to hit the 100-point milestone.
