The New York Rangers are firing on all cylinders offensively with no player hotter than Artemi Panarin.
In the team’s 6-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday, it marked their third straight game registering six goals. For Panarin, he has 6 goals and 8 points in his last two games and is riding a six-game points streak (6 goals, 6 assists).
“He says he’s a passer but I think he can score too,” Mika Zibanejad said with a smile. “That’s a good thing.”
On Friday night, the Rangers will take on the high-flying Edmonton Oilers who boast Connor McDavid and his 99 points in 55 games this season.
