If, before the Rangers ' season started, there had been a comparison between Chris Higgins and Enver Lisin that said 10 games into the year one would be scoreless and the other would have earned his way onto the team's top line, the answer to "Who's who?" would have been obvious.

THE personnel is different this year, so is the head coach, and so is the role that Chris Drury has been assigned to fill on a Rangers team that brought an 8-3-1 record into last night's match against the Islanders at the Coliseum.
