Jack Drury netted his first goal as a Nashville Predator on Saturday, helping the club to a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues.
Drury struck at 8:14 of the third period, taking a pass from Roman Josi and beating Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington. The forward joined Nashville in an offseason trade after Colorado and the center could not reach agreement on salary for a fourth-line role.
The Predators acquired Drury from the Avalanche in exchange for Zachary L'Heureux and Fedor Svechkov. He had spent one and a half seasons in Colorado, where he compiled 36 points from 15 goals and 21 helpers across 115 regular-season appearances. His playoff output across two campaigns included 5 points from 3 goals and 2 assists in 13 games.
Drury signed a five-year, $22.5 million contract with Nashville on June 28. He previously reached the Western Conference Final with Colorado, scoring a shorthanded goal in Game 3 against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Fellow former Avalanche forward Ross Colton, acquired in a separate trade, also plays for Nashville. Colton found the net for his first Predators tally on Oct. 10 versus the Ottawa Senators, though Nashville fell 3-2 in a shootout.
