The New York Rangers' top line, Mika Zibanejad and Alexis Lafrenière, have been performing well post-Olympics break after a disappointing season for the team. The new line has been successful, combining for seven goals and seven assists over back-to-back wins over the Flyers and the Flames. Head coach Mike Sullivan believes the combination of these players has been complementary and effective. The Rangers have lost only once in regulation in their last seven games since the break of the Olympics. The team's goal tally over the past five games stands at 3-13-2. The success of the new line and the emergence of 2023 first-round pick Perreault are crucial for the Rangers, who are signed through the 2031-32 season.
