The New York Rangers forward showed off his scoring skills late in the first period. After a turnover committed by Lars Eller in the Blueshirts zone, he headed towards the enemy net, ridiculing defender Marcus Pettersson who had stretched out to try to block him. He then fooled goalkeeper Tristan Jarry with a shot between the pads.

The game was an excellent reflection of the match which ended with a one-sided 6-0 victory for the visitors. While Sidney Crosby’s band was severely criticized, Lafrenière collected three points, while Vincent Trocheck scored a double. Artemi Panarin seems well recovered from his lower body injury that recently forced him to inactivity, as he collected three assists.
Igor Shesterkin stopped 29 pucks to record his 16th career shutout.
