At 5v5, the new Rangers top line has scored four times and allowed two in the four games they've been together. When you add powerplay numbers, they've scored 9 goals and still just allowed two. Individually, Zibanejad leads the trio with 3 goals and 5 assists in that span. Lafreniere is keeping pace with 5 goals (including a hat trick) and 3 assists.
Lafreniere registered his second career hat trick, continuing to produce in a post-Artemi Panarin world. Lafreniere may not be a generational talent, but he is playing like a first overall pick. We will need to see this continue for more than a few games, but the difference this time is he's far more engaged.
