Overview
- Rookie Gabe Perreault has moved onto the first power-play unit with J.T. Miller on injured reserve and logged a goal and a no-look assist in a 6-2 win over the Flyers.
- Perreault’s surge includes three goals and five points across his past four games as his minutes and responsibilities climb.
- The Alexis Lafrenière–Mika Zibanejad–Perreault trio has driven offense, combining for seven goals and seven assists over wins against Philadelphia and Calgary.
- Lafrenière’s uptick features five goals and eight points in his last four outings, including his second career hat trick in a 4-0 victory over the Flames.
- Sullivan’s youth-first approach extends to expanded penalty-kill and middle-six roles for Noah Laba and waiver pickup Tye Kartye, who scored his first Rangers goal, as the club prioritizes development in a declared retool.
