MVP For The Rangers Continues Dominance Midway In the Season

Artemi Panarin has been far and away the Rangers best and most dependable player through the first half of the season and deserves to be mentioned in the Hart Trophy conversation.

Panarin is on pace to shatter his career high in shots and goals, 53 goals and 345 shots. His career high is 32 goals and 228 shots.

He isn't that far from the goal leaders this season, six away from Auston Matthews for the lead.

If the Rangers get back on a nice win streak and continue to fight for best record in the league, it'll strengthen his chances for the Hart Trophy this season.
