Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad have combined for 31 goals between them so far this year, which amounts to around 40% of the New York Rangers’ 105 goals scored in 2019-20.

Granted, Filip Chytil has been a man reborn since being recalled from the AHL with 11 points (eight goals, three assists) in 24 games, while Ryan Strome is actually second on the team in points with 28 (six goals, 22 assists).
