New York Rangers deliver an unfortunate update on Artemi Panarin's injury
The New York Rangers receive unfortunate news as the National Hockey Leagues regular season quickly approaches.
On Tuesday, October 1st when the New York Rangers faced the New Jersey Devils for a preseason matchup, Rangers superstar Artemi Panarin had exited the game during the first period and never returned.
It was then later confirmed by the New York Rangers PR team on the social media platform X, that Artemi Panarin was sidelined with a lower-body injury and would not return to the game.
However, and now with the National Hockey League's regular season set to begin next week, the New York Rangers are more than likely to be missing their leading scorer, Artemi Panarin.
New reports have surfaced stating that Artemi Panarin was absent from today's(Thursday's) practice and is now considered day-to-day with a lower body injury, as per Vince Z. Mercogliano:
Panarin was injured during Tuesday nights game against the Devils, for the second time this pre-season as he was sidelined during a game against the New York Islanders a week prior, due to a lower-body injury.
During today's practice, Rangers rookie Brennan Othmann filled in on the top six and skated with Vincent Trocheck and Alexis Lafrenière.
Kreider - Zib - Smith
Othmann - Trocheck - Laf
Cuylle - Chytil - Kakko
Edström - Carrick - Rempe
