BOSTON — Artemi Panarin had all of six minutes in penalties in 42 games for the Rangers last season. In Friday’s game against the Boston Bruins, he had double that, getting a high sticking minor in the second period and then a 10-minute misconduct in the final seconds of the game, for throwing his glove at Bruins agitator Brad Marchand.
Panarin and Marchand were on their respective benches when Marchand — who has a reputation for getting under opposing players’ skin, sometimes with dirty play, but often with things he says — started chirping at Panarin. The two stood up and were jawing at each other briefly, and the mild-mannered Panarin took off his left glove and threw it at Marchand.
