Mike Sullivan Opens Up About Rangers’ Heartbreaking Overtime Defeat—What Went Wrong?
Lafrenière had two points on the night and his play caught the eye of Sullivan.
“I thought it was one of his better games that he had all season for us, and that is what he’s capable of,” Sullivan said of Lafrenière. “I thought he was strong on pucks. He was hanging on pucks in the offensive zone. The goal he got was a goal scorer’s goal. It was more than just that.
“I thought he was around the net. He was winning puck battles. He was in the battle areas. He was challenging people by hanging on pucks, and that’s what he’s capable of. He’s a real good 1-on-1 player, and we’ve been trying to encourage him to challenge people down under the hash marks, and force people to have to take the puck away from him, because he’s big and strong, and he’s got a lot of really good puck skills. I thought tonight was one of his better nights.”
