Before “Rangers » Jimmy Vesey called his teammate’s club record special Artemy Panarina by a goal streak since the start of the NHL season.
The New York Rangers defeated New Jersey on the road with a score of 5: 3. Panarin scored a double and scored points in the 15th of 15 matches of the season. The Russian broke the club record – in the 1972/73 season, Rod Gilbert managed to score points in 14 consecutive matches at the start of the season. Panarin has now scored 10 goals and made 16 assists this season. The NHL record for longest scoring streak in the 21st century belongs to Dany Heatley and is 22 games.
– It was incredible. He impressed me last year when I played with him for the first time. But this year, he stepped it up a gear. The fact that he broke a club record that had stood for so long is something special. For us, he is a special player who makes the difference,” Vesey said according to the NHL press service.
Panarin also broke the record for Russian NHL players – it was set by Dmitry Kvartalnov, the current head coach of Dynamo Minsk, when he played for Boston in the 1992-93 season and had 14 productive games at the start of the season.
