Nearing the end of their off-day workout, New York coach Tom Renney spent about 15 minutes looking at new power-play units. One of the combinations Renney looked at included recently acquired Sean Avery. The group consisted of Brendan Shanahan, Jason Krog and Avery up front, with Karel Rachunek and Matt Cullen at the point positions.
