Artemi Panarin has been selected as a 2020 All Star, which will be his first All Star selection in his career. I find that to be crazy, that he’s never been an All Star before. He’s also the first Russian to represent the Rangers at the All Star Game in the club’s history.
Panarin, signed as a free agent this offseason, leads the Rangers in scoring with a line of 21-30-51 in 38 games. He makes all of his teammates better too, with all of his linemates playing better with him than without.
