"It shouldn't be a surprise that both Gabe Perreault and Alexis Lafreniere are surging now that they have time in the top of the lineup and on the powerplay, but it is a surprise it took this long to give them legitimate shots with the man advantage."
"The Rangers have won a whopping four in a row and seem to be on cruise control, led by the kids they have elevated in the lineup since the trade deadline."
The Rangers are on a four-game winning streak, with young players Gabe Perreault and Alexis Lafreniere thriving after receiving increased ice time in the top lineup and power-play opportunities. Their recent success highlights the impact of giving these players legitimate chances, though Perreault's time on the power-play was brief. Tonight's game features Artemi Panarin returning to Madison Square Garden for the first time since being traded to the Kings, while it marks the final MSG appearance for Kings veteran Anze Kopitar. The Rangers will start Igor Shesterkin in goal against Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper, with game time at 7pm.
