New York Rangers: Panarin’s defense gets huge boost from teammate with him the night of Nazarov’s allegation

Artemi Panarin is at home dealing with the allegation of assault levied by his former KHL coach Andrei Nazarov. There’s been a lot of amazing reporting on this topic, one that is very difficult to cover.

Here at Forever Blueshirts, I’ve tried to not opine on the situation and point our readers to those that have done the reporting. I am a firm believer that people are innocent until proven guilty. Sadly, the court of public opinion doesn’t always work that way.

Panarin defense gets big boost

In a new Russian interview, Mikhail Anisin a former teammate of Panarin recounted his recollection of the night in question.
