Athletistic / Hockey. On the night of April 8, the New York Rangers defeated the Montreal Canadiens with a score of 5:2 in an NHL regular season home game. The main hero of the meeting was the Russian striker of the winners, Artemy Panarin.
Panarin scored a goal and an assisted hat-trick last night. After the match against Montreal, the 32-year-old Russian collected 115 points (46+69) thanks to the goal+pass system. This allowed Panarin to surpass the NHL scoring records of Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin and Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin.
In the 2007/2008 season, Ovechkin scored 112 (65+47) points. Malkin showed his best result in the 2008/2009 season, scoring 35 goals and 78 accurate passes, earning a total of 113 points.
The New York Rangers have 5 games left before the end of the regular season, and therefore Aretmi Panarin can significantly improve his result.
