Gabe Perreault is starting to show his potential with the NY Rangers. The 20-year-old forward scored in two recent preseason games, including in the 5-4 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. He also recorded a goal in the team’s 5-3 win over the New Jersey Devils on Sunday.Perreault’s goals showed his ability to read plays and find chances to score. He scored from a pass by Will Cuylle against Boston, giving the Rangers a 2-1 lead in the second period. Perreault's goal against New Jersey came from good positioning and timing.NY coach Mike Sullivan highlighted that playing time is more important than a top six role.“I don’t think he needs to be a top six player," Sullivan said on Tuesday. "I think it’s important that he gets minutes and that he plays.” He added that playing time, whether in New York or with Hartford, will help Perreault’s long-term growth and ultimately benefit the Rangers."It's probably in the best interest of his overall development, which would in turn be the best interest of the New York Rangers," Sullivan said. "Whether that takes place in New York or in Hartford is yet to be determined. We're really encouraged by his game. He seems to get better with each game that he plays."Perreault is playing his first full NHL season after signing his entry-level deal in March. He has suited up for five games, averaging over 14 minutes of ice time. Perreault has no goals or assists yet.NY Rangers' approach in centennial seasonWith the 2025-26 season approaching, the NY Rangers revealed new jerseys for its 100th season.

I think it has to be cohesive with everyone," Zibanejad said, via NHL.com."We have to work together as one."The team wants to handle expectations better, as leadership changes and roster moves caused frustration.
