The Rangers are making an attempt to stay connected with their fans through social media while the NHL remains on pause.
On Saturday, forward Artemi Panarin posted a message on the Rangers’ Instagram account, saying, in English, “Hi Rangers fans. Miss you guys. I hope everyone is doing well.’’
On Friday, team president John Davidson also posted a message on Instagram in which he thanked the doctors and nurses on the front lines of the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as people who work in grocery stores and pharmacies, and those who drive trucks and buses and the like, and reminded people to wash their hands and implored them to stay safe.
