As the number one overall selection in the 2020 NHL Draft, all eyes were on the Rangers’ 19-year old phenom, Alexis Lafrenière, when he broke ice for the first time while skating against the New York Islanders on January 14, 2021. Throughout his 15 minutes and 21 seconds on ice, Lafrenière displayed elite swiftness, playmaking ability, and grit that provided Rangers faithful with hope and excitement for the future. The Rangers ultimately ended up losing the game 4-0 but this small hiccup did not discourage Lafrenière at all as he went on to record 12 goals and 21 total points during his rookie campaign.
