Lafreniere skates at first official practice with Rangers

"It was kind of a long process from this summer, a pretty long summer, but I felt good," Lafreniere said.
Lafreniere hasn't played in a game or participated in an official practice since March 8, 2020, when he was with Rimouski of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Lafreniere said he has moved into a hotel for training camp, and he's grown more comfortable with the Rangers and his new teammates during the past several weeks.
"I'm feeling pretty good for sure," Lafreniere said.
"Everything is quicker," Lafreniere said.
In juniors, you have maybe a little bit of time with the puck, but here you have to think the game quicker.
"You forget how young he is because he carries himself with a ton of maturity," said left wing Chris Kreider, who was training with Lafreniere in Connecticut for several weeks.
