Alexis Lafreniere vows to learn from his lost Rangers season
NY Post
The start — four goals in seven games, directly following a postseason where he collected eight in 16 — was promising for Alexis Lafrenière.
It all prompted a contract extension and a seven-year commitment that ensured he’d remain part of the Rangers’ new-look core well into the future.
But the rest of 2024-25 — 13 goals in his next 74 games entering Thursday’s season finale against the Lightning, and just three since Feb. 5 — ended up being disastrous for the 23-year-old winger.
Lafrenière experienced goal droughts of 13 and 14 games.
He failed to sustain the postseason magic and fell short of the expectations his contract’s $52 million price tag created.
He started to overthink more than he likely did in previous seasons while also searching for a way to “get one to go in and feel better afterward,” he told The Post on Wednesday.
