Artemi Panarin is enjoying career highs in goals and points this season. His play all season is the main reason New York sits atop the league standings, writes @Peter_Baugh. Saturday’s showing against the Panthers was just the latest example. https://t.co/ijFxpiCgsH https://t.co/rqO7PetsYY
When Artemi Panarin scores, he often points to his assisting teammate almost immediately. That wasn’t an option the final time he put the puck in the net Saturday. Instead, after a shootout goal, he raised his arm above his head. That one was all him. https://t.co/dHf8YzHFwi

#NYR head coach Peter Laviolette on Artemi Panarin: “He had another monster game. He’s so dangerous. He’s leaving everything out of the ice. He comes back to the bench and he’s completely gassed. He gives it all every shift. He’s playing his heart out.”
Artemi Panarin on the #NYR momentum swing from the Fox goal and subsequent fourth-line shift: “And the fans, too. They gave the energy, too. Looked like we worked together, the whole building.”
