My 3 Rangers stars
Alexis Lafrenière
is getting more and more confident and his third period goal showed off his skill. He doesn’t miss on shots like that unlike many of his teammates. He also made a fantastic move to the net in the third period, but was stopped by the Canes’ netminder.

What’s next
It’s the penultimate game for the Blueshirts as they host the Montreal Canadiens in the second game of a back-to-back. Gametime is 7:30pm. It will be a return to the Garden for Martin St. Louis who is the interim coach for the Canadiens.
The final game of the season is Friday night against the Capitals. Hopefully, the Rangers will have the common sense to rest their regulars so that they are healthy for the playoffs. You can be sure that Panarin and Copp won’t be in the lineup and the word is that Kaapo Kakko will make his return. The only regular with a target to achieve is Chris Kreider and it’s likely we will see him both remaining games. When asked about that after the game, he said that he’s a hockey player and when they tell him to play, he plays.
