• There was a consensus last season that New York Rangers center Ryan Strome was simply a product of Artemi Panarin and that he was not nearly as good as his point total indicated.
• Fast forward to 2020-21, and Strome leads the Rangers in points with 34 and is currently riding a 10-game assist streak and an 11-game point streak.
• A Saturday night game against the Buffalo Sabres provides Strome the opportunity to extend his assist-streak to 11 consecutive games, passing the legendary Rod Gilbert for the second-longest streak in franchise history.
• Crosby may be the better all-around player, while Ovechkin the better goal scorer, but from the mouth of the man who played against both, Ovechkin is the better player?
• Dubinsky finished his career with 438 points in 823 games played, 393 of those games coming as a member of the Rangers.
• It is now the second time in the last three games that his ice time has fallen short of 10 minutes, yet he has recorded a point (one goal, one assist) in those games.
• No one wants to lose, but winning at the expense of their future’s development is also a tough pill to swallow.Alexis Lafreniere, New York Rangers (Photo by Jared Silber/NHLI via Getty Images).
