Rangers Rookies Shine in Rebuilding Season

On March 22nd, the New York Rangers sit dead last in the Eastern Conference this season,

but their young rookies are a bright spot.

Gaye Perot, Noah Laba, and Matthew Robertson each bring unique skills to the table,

and have seized their chances on the ice.

Paro L, p. 23rd overall in 2023, impressed at Boston College before earning a top line spot

alongside Mika Zebenehad and Alexis Lafernir.

He's tallied seven goals and 13 assists in 36 games, including a two-go, one assists night,

and a wild comeback against Columbus.

Meanwhile, the six-foot three-center Noah Laba, a fourth-round pick from 2022,

uses his size and speed on the third line.

He's reliable on defense, wins over half his face-offs, and has nine goals and 12 assists in 65 games,

though he's sidelineed week to week, with a lower body injury.

Defenseman Matthew Robertson, drafted second-round in 2019,

took years to crack the NHL after strong junior and minor league stints.

Now he's a steady penalty killer with four goals and 10 assists in 59 games,

highlighted by an overtime winner against Boston.

As the ranges shift toward rebuilding, these rookies have proven they belong,

setting the stage for brighter days ahead with their steady growth and impact.
