US EditionAfter NY return, the LA Kings are counting on Artemi Panarin to lead them into the playoffs
After a slow start, Panarin scored 12 points in 10 games, helping the Kings improve offense and narrow the gap to a Western Conference playoff spot.
- Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Kings acquired Artemi Panarin from the New York Rangers just before the NHL Olympic break, and he recorded 12 points in his first 10 games.
- The Los Angeles Kings offered salary-cap space and paid a conditional third-round pick while Panarin signed a two-year, $22 million extension.
- General manager Ken Holland reshaped the roster before the March 6 deadline, trading Corey Perry and Warren Foegele for Scott Laughton, while goaltender Darcy Kuemper said Panarin "boosts" energy and effort.
- Following the trade, the Los Angeles Kings are closer to a wild-card spot, now one point out after a loss at New Jersey, despite scoring almost a half goal more per game with Panarin.
- After a cross-country move into the Western Conference race, 'Panarin said' he was 'thinking too much' before returning to Madison Square Garden on Monday night.
