New York Rangers‘ winger Artemi Panarin ended the year on a high note with the announcement that he’d been selected to his first NHL All-Star Game.
Now, Panarin’s 2020 is off to a similarly spectacular start, as he’s been named the 3rd Star of the Month by the NHL on Thursday.
Panarin, in his first season as a Blueshirt, played 14 games in December. Over the month, he recorded 10 goals and 12 assists, for 22 points. The Rangers had a 6-7-1 record in the month.
Of his 10 goals, one came on the power-play and two more were game-winners.
