Striker Artemy Panarin became the third Russian player to score 60 points in the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 2022/23 season.
The forward scored a goal against the Vancouver Canucks in the league’s regular season away game.
Panarin scored his first goal in the eighth minute. And during the break, a goal was rewritten to him, the author of which was originally Finn Niko Mikkola.
The forward has scored 61 points, 18 goals and 43 assists in 54 games this season. In total, he has 205 goals in his career.
Earlier, the 60-point threshold had already been crossed by Russian hockey player Nikita Kucherov (Tampa Bay Lightning) with 78 points and Minnesota Wild’s Kirill Kaprizov with 63 points.
The New York Rangers entered Vancouver on a five-game undefeated streak. On the contrary, the Canadian team cannot win two games already.
At the moment the game is in the second period, the score is 5:3 from New York in favor of the club.
Panarin joined the New York Rangers from the Columbus Blue Jackets in the summer of 2019.
