There hasn’t been a single Rangers win this season without Artemi Panarin on the stat sheet in some form.
In the 11 victories the Rangers have had, the Bread Man has registered a point in each. Coming as advertised doesn’t exactly describe Panarin, who chose to sign for seven years with the Blueshirts for what now looks like a bargain price of $81.5 million.
Going at the rate that he has, Panarin is on pace for 112 points this season, which would count as the second-highest scoring season in Rangers history behind Jaromir Jagr (123 points in 2005-06).
