The Rangers organization had high hopes that this season's breakout year for Rangers forward Alexis LaFreniere would continue into the playoffs. It has, and Lafrenière has been fantastic. He has been a solid contributor on Artemi Panarin's line it has dominated only five on five goals.

Several players and including head coach Peter Laviolette took to the podium after the game three win and explained how well Lafreniere has played and where he stands on the team.

"I can't speak to the past, I can only speak to the last six months or whatever it might be. He's been pretty much set in stone with a couple of players and that line has been extremely productive for us. He's a big part of that."

It's clear with the coaching change of Laviolette have made an impact on how Lafreniere has played and how he was able to elevate his game especially putting him on the line with Panarin who had a great season to himself.

Players like Chris Kreider who are integral into the offence of the Rangers spoke about Lafrenière and how he has admired his work ethic, the ability to elevate his game and a shake off the negative comments that were around him from the past. He even threw a quick jab at him all the sake of fun which drew a laugh from the crowd.

Lafrenière and the Rangers will get their first chance to knockout the Hurricanes as game four will take place on May 11th in game time will be 7:00 PM eastern.
