The pupparazzi will be out in full force when Artemi Panarin and the New York Rangers take the ice at Madison Square Garden for their regular-season debut Thursday.

That’s because Panarin, the team’s exciting new offensive weapon, has an Instagram-famous furry sidekick: Riziy, a nearly 4-year-old Jack Russell terrier with 20,500 followers.

“The dog came as a set with my girlfriend,” Panarin told The Post. But the 27-year-old athlete has fallen head over heels for the pup, whom Alisa Znarok adopted from the Ukraine.
