Rangers’ Artemi Panarin records 900th point — but didn’t know it at first
NY Post
OTTAWA, Ontario — When the Rangers bench asked for the puck Artemi Panarin had just shot into an empty-net to secure a 4-2 victory for the Rangers over the Senators on Thursday night at Canadian Tire Center, the star Russian wing turned around and asked why.
Panarin had no idea he had just recorded the 900th point of his 11-year career.
“Happy to get that, but glad we [won] tonight,” he said after posting a multipoint effort for a second straight game. “Especially in a winning game, I have that number. So nice. But, to be honest, I [didn’t] know.”
The 34-year-old Panarin is just the sixth undrafted player since 1963-64 to reach 900 points in 800 or fewer games.
Thursday night marked Game No. 781 for Panarin.
With 10 points in the last six games, Panarin leads the Rangers with 30 points on the season.
