Before “New York Rangers » Artemy Panarin can lead the team to win the Stanley Cup, but the help of partners will be very important, says the former defender of several KHL clubs Nikita Shchitov .
On Sunday night, Panarin scored twice against the New Jersey Devils, scoring points in his 15th straight game and breaking two records. The Rangers forward broke the record for Russian players in the NHL, set by Dmitry Kvartalnov when he played for Boston in the 1992-93 season and played 14 productive games at the start of the season.
Panarin also broke a club record: in the 1972/73 season, Rod Gilbert managed to score points in 14 consecutive matches at the start of the season. Currently, Panarin has scored 10 goals and made 16 assists this season.
— Artemy had a child not long ago. Such events cause a huge emotional outburst. It often happens that for athletes the year of birth of a child turns out to be exorbitant in terms of results. From my observations, I can say that this provides a powerful impulse. I also attribute such good playing by Panarin to this.
Well, his efficiency, his talent, his good partners, the good atmosphere within the team also contribute to the result. Panarin shows incredible dedication and determination on the field. We see that he has integrated well into the system of new Rangers coach Peter Laviolette. I think Artemy will have a good time throughout the regular season, but the most interesting thing will be the playoffs.
Can Panarin lead the Rangers to the Stanley Cup? Why not? But he’s not the only one on the team. The help of partners is also very important, hockey is a team game. “Everything will not depend only on Artemy,” Shchitov told .
The NHL record for longest scoring streak in the 21st century belongs to Dany Heatley and is 22 games.
