Artemi Panarin is constructing one of the greatest offensive seasons in Rangers history with 68 points (26 goals, 42 assists) in 47 games. But the electric winger has a long way to go to surpass No. 68 at the top of the franchise’s all-time single-season list.
For Jaromir Jagr not only established franchise records of 54 goals and 123 points in 2005-06, he carried that team to the playoffs, ending a seven-season drought with a club that had been regarded as no better than the Blueshirts’ current squad during the preseason.
Just as it is with Panarin, who has elevated his teammates and team, it was much more than numbers with Jagr.
