Lafrenière scores twice, guides Rangers to shutout win over the Red Wings | Postgame Report

With a perfect combination of stout goaltending, timely defense and some offensive firepower, the New York Rangers defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4-0 at MSG this afternoon. As per usual, Igor Shesterkin and the defense in front of him was solid when they had to be, and offensively, the Rangers controlled the tempo at will. Goals in the first and second period from Mika Zibanejad and Frank Vatrano set up the Blueshirts for a third frame that starred a rejuvenated Alexis Lafrenière, who was coming off some rest after being a healthy scratch just one game ago. Lafrenière netted 2 goals in the final 20 minutes, the second coming with a little extra flair, to ensure that New York came away with the victory. Featuring Coach Gallant and Lafrenière's thoughts on his strong performance, here's the postgame recap from Colin Loughran.
