Rangers signs point to Alexis Lafreniere’s injury not being serious
NY Post
MONTREAL — Alexis Lafreniere did not practice with the team on Monday, but the Rangers wing skated on his own afterward.
Despite the Rangers saying Lafreniere is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, the 23-year-old did not look hampered during his individual session.
Though head coach Peter Laviolette declined to comment on Lafreniere’s status for Tuesday night’s game against the Canadiens at Bell Center, practice gave a pretty good indication that the 2020 first-overall pick should be fine to play.
“I don’t think we should speak on speculation,” Laviolette said. “I can’t comment on [Tuesday] yet.”
Matt Rempe skated as a placeholder in Lafreniere’s spot on the right wing of Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck.
As a result, Jonny Brodzinski was back in the right-wing spot on the fourth unit alongside Sam Carrick and Adam Edstrom.

After leaving practice early on Monday to be evaluated for a lower-body injury, Adam Edstrom did not suit up Tuesday night against the Stars.
