Alexis Lafreniere vows to learn from his lost Rangers season
NY Post
The start — four goals in seven games, directly following a postseason where he collected eight in 16 — was promising for Alexis Lafrenière.
It all prompted a contract extension and a seven-year commitment that ensured he’d remain part of the Rangers’ new-look core well into the future.
But the rest of 2024-25 — 13 goals in his next 74 games entering Thursday’s season finale against the Lightning, and just three since Feb. 5 — ended up being disastrous for the 23-year-old winger.
Lafrenière experienced goal droughts of 13 and 14 games.
He failed to sustain the postseason magic and fell short of the expectations his contract’s $52 million price tag created.
He started to overthink more than he likely did in previous seasons while also searching for a way to “get one to go in and feel better afterward,” he told The Post on Wednesday.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
