1. Alexis Lafrenière Game 3 vs the Florida Panthers (Second goal of the game)
The youngster went coast-to-coast and dangled through three Florida defenders before diving past the crease while shoveling a backhander past Sergei Bobrovsky. Absolute poetry. In a series where some of the Rangers’ stars were absent, Lafrenière showed up countless times with jaw-dropping goals like this.
