Artemy Panarin, the Russian forward for the New York Rangers, found the back of the net in the clash against the New Jersey Devils, pushing his regular-season goal streak to 15 consecutive games. This milestone added another layers of achievement to his strong start this season, as he continued to be a driving force for New York on offense.
The performance elevated Panarin to a new franchise benchmark, surpassing the long-standing Rangers record held by Rod Gilbert for the most consecutive games with a point at the start of a season. Gilbert had achieved a 14-game run during the 1972–73 campaign. In a broader NHL context, Panarin’s streak places him atop the all-time list for Russian players with a similar early-season point streak. The previous Russian best was Dmitry Kvartalnov, who opened the 1992–93 season with 14 straight assists. Panarin’s sustained production showcases not only his skill but also his consistency across the grind of an NHL schedule.
Across 15 NHL appearances this season, Panarin has produced nine goals and 16 assists, underscoring his dual-threat impact as a scorer and setup man. His continued success has helped reinforce the Rangers’ offensive identity as they navigate the competitive landscape of the league.
In the broader league context, the top spot in the goal-plus-assist metric is held by Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov, who has tallied 13 goals and 14 assists. In second place is JT Miller of Vancouver, who sits at 10 goals and 17 assists, followed by Elias Pettersson, also of Vancouver, with 8 goals and 19 assists. These numbers highlight how the league’s top producers distribute scoring responsibilities across multiple lineups and teams, creating a dynamic, high-scoring season narrative. Kucherov’s performance has been pivotal for Tampa Bay, including a game where his two goals helped them erase a 0–2 deficit to defeat Edmonton. This set of performances illustrates the ongoing balance between individual hot streaks and team success in the NHL this season. — Source: NHL stats
