Rangers' Artemi Panarin: Missing from practice Thursday
Rotowire
Panarin (lower body) was not on the ice Thursday and is considered day-to-day, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Panarin still has time to get back to 100 percent before the season opener against the Penguins on Oct. 9. The veteran winger is coming off a career year in which he set personal bests in goals (49), points (120) and power-play points (44). While this was the first time Panarin reached the 40-goal threshold, he should be capable of doing so again in 2024-25.

Rangers' Artemi Panarin: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Panarin (lower body) will not be in action against Boston on Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Panarin did skate Thursday, which is a good sign that he will still be ready for the start of the season against Pittsburgh on Oct. 9. In 82 regular-season contests last year, the 32-year-old winger set career highs in goals (49), points (120) and shots (303). While it would be fair to expect a little regression toward the mean for Panarin this year, he should still be capable of topping both the 40-goal and 100-point thresholds.

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