Panarin set two records and brought the Rangers victory over New Jersey
The New York Rangers defeated the New Jersey Devils on the road in a regular season match of the National Hockey League (NHL). This was reported by a Lenta.ru correspondent.
The meeting ended with a score of 5:3. The victory was brought to the guests by a double from Russian striker Artemy Panarin. The forward extended his scoring streak to 15 matches since the start of the 2023/2024 season. Thus, he set two records for this indicator, taking clear first place in a series of games with points scored in the history of the Rangers and among Russian hockey players in the NHL.
In the 1972/1973 season, Rangers hockey player Rodo Gilbert had a scoring streak of 14 matches. Dmitry Kvartalnov had a similar achievement in the 1992/1993 season, when he played for the Boston Bruins. For 31 years, not a single Russian could break this record.
Previously, NHL Network included Panarin in the top 50 best active NHL players. The striker, who has been with Rangers since 2019, is 32nd on the list. His current contract with the team runs until 2026.
