Alexis Lafreniere

Lafrenière has gone eight games without scoring a goal and has seen his ice time go down to 13:41 per game in December. "He's got some chances to play with good people and he's played well at times, but it's the inconsistency."

He has seen his playing time decrease rapidly over the last few weeks, and now he’ll have to watch a sixth-round pick in Blais take his lineup spot.

He’s not doing that, and his laissez-faire attitude to the locker room may be a detriment to some players that need a more hands on approach. Goal aside (that’s a goal that should be stopped), it’s the neutral zone play that’s been a problem. But with rumblings about a potential attitude problem –which makes you wonder how well teams were able to scout that 2020 draft due to Covid, but more on that at another time– combined with stagnating play away from the puck, there’s clear and documented proof that Lafreniere as a healthy scratch may be helpful. [The phrasing by Vince Mercogliano](https://twitter.com/vzmercogliano/status/1608137688510763008), and this is not saying Vince confirmed it, just what Gallant may be thinking, means Lafreniere is possibly a healthy scratch tonight. While many took the lines and line rushes as a potential healthy scratch for [Jimmy Vesey](https://blueseatblogs.com/tag/jimmy-vesey/), that is likely not the case. It’s clear from the clunker against Washington that Lafreniere drew the ire of the coach.

Et c’est là que ça devient intéressant. Notons que c’est d’ailleurs Jeff Gorton qui lui avait fait parapher son entente recrue. Nous ne développons pas en ce moment, nous développons à l’entraînement, mais nous voulons gagner des matchs. Mais comme l’explique Gerard Gallant, c’est plutôt le fait qu’il est invisible un match sur deux qui inquiète dans son cas. Et là, visiblement, Laffy ne se retrouve plus dans les bonnes grâces de son entraîneur. Hier, le Québécois a été relégué sur le quatrième trio des Rangers à l’entraînement de l’équipe.

Peu après la séance, l’entraîneur-chef Gerard Gallant a passé un message on ne peut plus direct au joueur de 21 ans, lors de sa mêlée de presse. Ironiquement, c’est un autre Québécois qui prendra la place de l’Eustachois dans l’effectif. Gerard Gallant veut provoquer une réaction au sein de sa troupe et Alexis Lafrenière est celui qui écope.

The Rangers are benching the first overall pick in 2020 for a crucial game against the Lightning as Lafrenière's NHL struggles trudge on.

Le Québécois Alexis Lafrenière sera laissé de côté pour le match des Rangers de New York face au Lightning de Tampa Bay, jeudi soir.

Lafrenière, premier choix au total du repêchage de 2020, comptabilise 5 buts et 17 points en 36 matchs cette saison. « Il a eu la chance de jouer avec de bons joueurs et il a bien fait à certains moments, mais il manque de constance », a-t-il ajouté. Son temps de glace, qui s’élevait à 15 : 41 en moyenne entre octobre et novembre, est passé à 13 : 41 en décembre.

Lafreniere, 21, was criticized by head coach Gerard Gallant for his recent play and was demoted to the fourth line at practice on Wednesday. “I want him to be ...

You’ve got to focus on just your play and trying to get better.” As a draft lottery pick going to a team like the New York Rangers, who were on the up trend with superstar talent in place on eft wing (Artemi Panarin and Chris Kreider), ice time has been hard to come by. The answer to that is an easy no. Sure, you can talk about special teams ice time or lack thereof, but lately he and the second power play are getting more of it. A lot of players were passengers on that night, but Lafreniere has been for several games. Per Newsday’s Colin Stephenson, Sammy Blais will take his pace in the lineup tonight.

En analysant son parcours chez les professionnels jusqu'ici, il est impossible d'être certain qu'il sera un jour dominant dans la grande ligue. Hier, il a appris qu'il allait regarder le match face aux Capitals dans les gradins. En retour, on mentionne que le prix à payer pourrait être le choix de 1e ronde des Panthers en 2023, qui appartient au Canadien depuis la transaction Ben Chiarot.

Lafrenière, who has 17 points in 36 games in 2022-23, has averaged 0.4 points per game over his two-plus NHL seasons. He went eight consecutive games without ...

Lafrenière was a handful on the forecheck, leading the Rangers with 2.3 defensive plays per 20 minutes in the offensive zone at 5-on-5. Lafrenière was at his best leading up to and during the Rangers’ three-round playoff run last season. On Thursday, Kakko joined up with Kreider and Zibanejad, a combination that has controlled 56.5 per cent of expected goals this season. At the start of this season, Gallant put Lafrenière with Panarin and Trocheck after Vitali Kravtsov suffered an injury. To Gallant’s point, though, Lafrenière has not taken advantage of playing with the Rangers’ top forwards at even strength. On the power play, for example, Lafrenière has made little impact, as the No.
