New York Rangers won a voluntary victory over New York Islanders (6:4) in the NHL preseason game, but lost the Russian forward due to injury Artemy Panarina .
The forward left the field in the third period and never returned to the ice. A number of sources, including the New York Post, Sportsnet and Daily Faceoff, write that Panarin suffered lower-body injuries.
As for the team’s head coach, Peter Laviolette, it is also reported that the Russian has presented himself for an examination. The exact nature of the injury will be known later.
As for the game itself, the Islanders led 3:0 and then 4:1 during the game, but in the last six minutes of regulation time, they conceded five goals in a row. Chris Kreider scored twice for the Rangers.
The Rangers’ goal in the first half of the game was defended by Russian goaltender Igor Shesterkin (16 of 18 shots saved), while goaltender Semyon Varlamov spent 30 minutes on the Islanders’ ice (10 of 10 shots saved).
