Artemi Panarin moved into some pretty heady when he scored into an empty net to wrap up the New York Rangers’ 4-2 win against the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday night.
The “Breadman,” who had an assist on Mika Zibanejad’s first-period goal, got his 900th NHL point by scoring into the vacated cage after the Senators pulled goalie Leevi Merilainen for an extra attacker. He became the sixth undrafted NHL player since 1963-64 to reach 900 career points in 800 games or fewer, joining Wayne Gretzky (385 games), Peter Stastny (599 games), Bobby Orr (638 games), Phil Esposito (692 games) and Adam Oates (735 games).
