Russian forward for the New York Rangers Artemy Panarin is the leader of his team and has to win a lot of points, which he does, the Olympic champion and Stanley Cup winner told Valery Kamensky .
Panarin scored 2 (1+1) points in the NHL regular season game against Detroit (5:3). The Russian’s scoring streak since the beginning 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.
— Artemy is the leader of the team, that’s what we expect of him. The striker is expected to score points, score goals and help the team win. So it’s normal. I would like to wish him further success. Let him please our fans with his results.
— Could he become the top scorer this season?
– Why not? Certainly. Every attacker strives to achieve this. Naturally,” Kamensky told .
The race for goal scorers in the NHL is now led by another Russian hockey player – Tampa forward Nikita Kucherov. In the current championship, the attacker has 22 (10+12) points. Panarin is fifth on the list.
