Panarin Could Reach 100 Points, Nemchinov Says

Two-time Stanley Cup champion Sergei Nemchinov weighed in on Artemi Panarin’s NHL trajectory, suggesting the New York Rangers forward has the potential to reach a 100-point season. Nemchinov spoke to metaratings.ru, sharing his belief that Panarin is among the league’s elite players and could drive big numbers for the club this year. He emphasized that Panarin’s skill set translates to personal success and a strong team result, noting that when the winger is firing, the Rangers tend to as well. The question of postseason consistency remains, but Nemchinov made clear that future performance will reveal itself as the playoffs approach. He balanced optimism about the regular season with caution about the timing of playoff pressure, underscoring that performance in the qualifiers will show whether the team can carry momentum into the postseason.
