#9 You never forget your first – January 28

With some help from Lady Luck, and maybe some Gary Bettman tampering the Rangers won the Alexis Lafrenière sweepstakes. Alexis Lafrenière didn’t have the rookie season everyone expected, with some highlights but also maybe some lowlights.

As a rookie in the NHL, its all about getting goal number one. Its about getting that weight of your shoulders. Lafrenière only scored 12 goals last season, but you never forget your first especially when it comes in the form of an overtime game winner.

Hopefully this was the first of many for Lafrienière. So far this season Lafrienière only has six goals, but the season is still young at 27 games. If Lafrenière can turn it on down the stretch, the Rangers should be in great shape come playoff time.
