The head coach New York Rangers Pierre Laviolette noted the performance of the striker of the Russian team Artemy Panarina .
The Russian scored 2 (1+1) points in the NHL regular season match against Detroit (5:3). Panarin’s scoring streak since the start of the season is already 12 games, and the hockey player now has 20 points (7+13). He is the second longest-tenured player in club history, behind Canadian Rod Gilbert, who scored 23 points in 14 games during the 1972-73 season.
“I think when Panarin picks up speed and attacks, he becomes really dangerous. “He has elite skills, and with such speed and movement in the midzone to the goal, it’s really threatening,” the coach said, as quoted by the league’s press service.
The Russian became the eighth player in the club’s history to need 12 matches from the start of the championship to score 20 points. The last time such an indicator was achieved by the Czech Jaromir Jagr was in the 2006/07 season.
