Petry did some damage against his former team, helping out on second-period tallies from Ben Chiarot and Andrew Copp. It's a good response from Petry after he was a healthy scratch Monday versus the Blue Jackets.

Petry's spot in the lineup is obviously not guaranteed -- he'll compete with the likes of Justin Holl and Olli Maatta for playing time.
