"In evaluating this early slate of New York Rangers exhibition games, which have included a 5-3 win over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday and a 5-4 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins on Tuesday after the Rangers blew a 4-1 third-period lead the focus should be on the players. A three-goal collapse in a game the Rangers dominated through the first two periods rightfully bothers coach Mike Sullivan."
"Perreault used his elite hockey sense to generate chances and score his second goal of the preseason. After a Bruins' neutral zone turnover in the second period, Cuylle found him just outside the blue line. Perreault took a couple hard strides in. He beat Joonas Korpisalo underneath his glove. Perreault finished with four shots tied with Laba for second on the Rangers. He had prime opportunities late in the first and second periods."
The New York Rangers opened preseason with a 5-3 win over the Devils and a 5-4 overtime loss to the Bruins after surrendering a 4-1 lead. Coach Mike Sullivan emphasized that how the team lost matters more than the result and expects players to meet a standard of excellence. Prospects Gabe Perreault and Noah Laba produced standout performances, with Perreault leading the starting line and scoring his second preseason goal. Perreault finished with four shots and created prime opportunities. The team's strong play through two periods contrasted with a three-goal third-period collapse that needs correction.
