Athletistic / Hockey. New York Rangers forward Artemi Panarin had another brilliant game this NHL season. The 32-year-old Russian became the main creator of the Blueshirts’ success in the home match against the Montreal Canadiens (5:2).
Panarin scored 4 points for his performance in the meeting with the Tricolore – he scored one goal and became the author of three assists. This helped Artemy become the second star of the game in the NHL.
It is noteworthy that this season Panarin has already scored 115 (46+69), which allowed him to surpass the personal bests of Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin.
The best player of the day was Minnesota Wild goalie Jesper Wahlstedt. Last night, the Swede stopped all 24 shots on his own goal in a 4-0 win over the Chicago Bluehawks and earned the first win of his NHL career.
The third star of the day is St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas. He made 4 (1+3) assists in the match against the Anaheim Ducks (6:5 B).
