Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere: Tallies again Wednesday
Rotowire
Lafreniere scored a goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Lightning.
Lafreniere has three goals and six points over his last four games. The 24-year-old winger was among the Rangers' slowest starters this season, but he appears to be piecing it together now. He's had some good runs that didn't last in previous years, so fantasy managers expecting him to live up to his No. 1 overall status (2020) should probably be a little more patient. Nonetheless, he's produced four goals, 12 points, 40 shots on net, 24 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 18 appearances, a pace that puts him in the neighborhood of matching his career-best 57-point effort from the 2023-24 campaign.

Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere: Three-point effort in win
Rotowire
Lafreniere scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Monday's 6-3 win over the Predators.
All three points came in the second period as the Rangers pulled away and secured their first win on home ice this season. Lafreniere benefitted from having his usual center, Vincent Trocheck, back in action, but the 24-year-old winger was also finding a groove on his own, producing two goals and eight points over the last seven contests.
Lafreniere recorded a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
Lafreniere scored a goal for the first time since the Oct. 9 win over the Sabres. Even though this was the fifth time he cracked the scoresheet in the Rangers' last seven games, it was just the second time he delivered a multi-point effort. Lafreniere is one of several Rangers players who have been struggling on offense. Despite holding a top-six role in the lineup and being part of the second power-play unit, the 24-year-old has only accrued an underwhelming eight points (two goals, six helpers) in 15 games.

Rotowire
Lafreniere earned two helpers and one shot on goal in a 5-3 win over Vancouver on Saturday.
Lafreniere assisted on two third-period goals by Jonny Brodzinski on Saturday. The 23-year-old Lafreniere didn't have a point in three games going into Saturday's matchup.

Overall, he's at 15 goals, 38 points, 136 shots on net, 99 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-14 rating over 67 outings this season. With about a month to go in the campaign, Lafreniere looks likely to miss the 50-point mark for the fourth time in his five-year career barring a late surge of offense.

Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere: Deals helper in win
Rotowire
Lafreniere logged an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.
Lafreniere set up Artemi Panarin on the opening goal at 8:32 of the first period. The helper ended a five-game point drought for Lafreniere, though he's still gone eight contests without a goal. The 23-year-old's role hasn't changed amid his struggles -- he remains a top-six winger playing alongside Panarin and Vincent Trocheck. Lafreniere is up to 33 points, 129 shots on net, 90 hits and a minus-17 rating through 60 appearances this season, a large step back from his career-best 57-point effort in the 2023-24 regular season.

Lafreniere was the sole helper on linemate Vincent Trocheck's goal in the first period. The 23-year-old Lafreniere is up to 18 assists, 32 points and 125 shots on net in 54 games this season. He has two points in his last three contests and seems to be developing chemistry with Trocheck on the second line. Lafreniere will have to improve the consistency of his offensive production if he wants to match his point total of 57 in 82 regular-season outings from a year ago.
Lafreniere scored an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Senators.

Rotowire

Lafreniere ended a brief three-game slump when he set up Artemi Panarin's first goal of the contest.

The winger has four points over eight games this month, matching his total from 13 contests in December. He's at 25 points, 109 shots on net, 59 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-12 rating across 44 appearances this season.

Rotowire
Lafreniere scored two goals in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Stars.
Both goals came in the first period as the Rangers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but their leaky defense once again let them down.

Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere: Stuck in slump
Rotowire
Monday's 5-0 loss to New Jersey was the seventh time in his past eight appearances that Lafreniere had been held off the scoresheet.
Lafreniere got off to a strong start to the campaign, contributing eight goals and 16 points across his first 19 outings, but he's managed just a goal and five points over his past 15 appearances. He's far from the only struggling member of the Rangers -- New York is 4-13-0 overs its past 17 games -- but Lafreniere still has something to prove. The 23-year-old finished with under 40 points in each of his first three campaigns, but he gave the world a glimpse of why he was taken with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft when he provided 28 goals and 57 points across 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. That jump in production led to him inking a seven-year, $52.15 million contract that doesn't begin until 2025-26. If he fails to build off his success from last season, then that deal will end up looking like an overpayment.

Rotowire
Lafreniere recorded two assists in Friday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.
Lafreniere extended his goal drought to seven games, but he has four assists in that span, so at least he's finding a way to remain relevant in fantasy amid a prolonged slump. The 23-year-old has eight goals and 19 points through 25 points in 2024-25, which puts him on pace to surpass the career high he established during the 2023-24 regular season of 57 points, so even though Lafreniere has struggled to find the back of the net recently, this is still shaping up to be a strong campaign for him overall.

Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere: Mixed results in loss
Rotowire
Lafreniere scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-4 in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.
Mika Zibanejad's struggles with puck possession showed up in his linemates' numbers, as the Jets had no trouble cashing in on turnovers. Lafreniere salvaged his game with a goal, his fourth point over five contests in November. The winger is up to six goals, six assists, 24 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-6 rating over 14 appearances this season. He's a virtual lock for top-six minutes, though the Rangers' offense hasn't exactly been firing on all cylinders over the last three weeks.
