Rangers new top line a handful, taking off with ‘complementary skill sets’
Few things have gone right for the New York Rangers as they enter the final weeks of a lost season. But the recent play of young forwards Gabe Perreault and Alexis Lafreniere on a line with veteran center Mika Zibanejad is one of them.
Perreault, New York’s first-round pick (No. 23 overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft, is improving by leaps and bounds in his first full season. He had a goal and an assist in the Rangers’ 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Monday night, giving him three goals and five points in his past four games.
