Athletistic / Hockey. The New York Rangers defeated the Montreal Canadiens with a score of 5:2 in an NHL regular season home game. Russian “Cops” forward Artemy Panarin scored four points for his performance during this meeting.
Panarin scored a goal and three assists last night. Artemy now has 115 (46+69) points in the goal+pass system this season. This allowed the 32-year-old Russian to repeat the NHL record in the 21st century.
The fact is that over the last 24 years, only Johnny Gaudreau and Jonathan Huberdeau have scored at least 115 points as left wingers (both in the 2021/2022 season).
- Panarin surpasses Ovechkin and Malkin’s career scoring record
The leader in points per season among left wingers is the legendary Luc Robitaille, who scored 125 points in the 1992-1993 season. Artemiy Panarin and his Rangers still have 5 matches to play before the end of the regular season.
