The best news for the New York Rangers from their first two preseason games is the performance of their top prospect.
Gabe Perreault looks like a future star, which is what the Rangers hope he’ll become. The first-round pick (No. 23 overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft scored scored goals in each of New York’s first two preseason contests, including a snipe from the left circle on Tuesday in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins at Madison Square Garden.
If the son of former NHL center Yanic Perreault continues to play this way during the rest of the preseason, he’s going to make it tough for the Rangers not to put him on the opening night roster.
