Lafreniere’s 2025-2026 season split around Artemi Panarin’s final Rangers game on January 26. In 53 games before Panarin was held out, Lafreniere recorded 10 goals, 19 assists, and 29 points. In 29 games after Panarin’s trade, he totaled 14 goals, 14 assists, and 28 points. Early struggles were not tied to poor play, as he produced his best defensive season and showed strong Evolving-Hockey and All Three Zones microstats, including defensive zone exits and forechecking. His scoring improved once he became a focal point of the offense and received consistent power-play time, boosting confidence and output.
