A glance at Alexis Lafreniere’s overall statistical picture through 13 games of the New York Rangers season raises eyebrows, given the gap between what advanced stats strongly suggest his production level should be, and what it actually is.
The 24-year-old forward boasts a robust 64.1 expected goal share, and even more impressive numbers when it comes to scoring chances. The Rangers out-chance opponents 90-62 and an eye-popping 47-16 in the high-danger category with Lafreniere on the ice 5v5, per Natural Stat Trick.
Without access to his goal and assist totals, one might reasonably conclude that Lafreniere is among the League leaders in scoring.
