This could be the season that the Rangers’ Alexis Lafreniere finally gets the kind of extended opportunities that most first-overall picks do.
EDMONTON, Alberta — There will only be two, as opposed to three, former first-overall picks on the Rogers Place ice Thursday night, when the Rangers and Oilers square off in what is sure to be a fast-paced matchup.
To put it in perspective how little ice time Lafreniere has seen with the man-advantage: Since his first season in 2020-21, the Quebecois forward still trails one-time Rangers Patrick Kane, Vladimir Tarasenko and Andrew Copp in average power-play time per game at a mere 1:17. “Just practices, try to get as many reps as we can,” Lafreniere said of his power-play unit. “Try to move the puck quick and make plays for each other. It was good and it was good to get a goal, too.”Lafreniere, whose three goals in six games are tied with Artemi Panarin for the second-most on the Rangers, has some jump to his game so far.
