The head coach “New York Rangers » Pierre Laviolette noted the game of the Russian striker Artemy Panarina calling him a unique player.
In the final game of the NHL regular season against Winnipeg (3:2 OT), Panarin scored 3 (1+2) points, including assisting Mika Zibanejad on the winning goal in overtime. For the Russian, it was the ninth consecutive meeting with points scored for the performance – this is a club record in the 21st century.
“Some of the things he does are amazing.” Take, for example, the last goal (of the team), the winner: being able to slide the puck towards the center, taking out all the opponents, and then seeing Mika (Zibanejad) free… He’s a unique player , he is playing very well for us at the moment,” quotes Lavioletta on the official NHL website.
In just nine starting matches of the season, Panarin, who turned 32 on October 30, scored 15 (5+10) points. He is the team’s leading scorer and is second only to Chris Kreider in goals (6).
