  • Records two helpers in Game 4
    Panarin registered a pair of assists, including one with the man advantage, in Game 4 against the Panthers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Despite his two-point effort, Panarin remains mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he has recorded just 14 shots. Still, the 32-year-old winger continues to find ways to produce, though his effort Tuesday wasn't enough to help secure a victory for New York. If the Rangers are going to make the Stanley Cup Finals, they will likely need Panarin to start finding the back of the net. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:15 am
