The New York Rangers will face the Washington Capitals tonight, as Artemi Panarin, play his 9th game, on the same line as Vinnie Troecheck, and Alexis Lafreniere.

The line is a dynamic line, full of skill, and grit with Alexis Lafreniere proving to be a great two-way forward.

But only one of them is leading the Rangers in points, and that is winger Artemi Panarin with 15 points( 6 G, 9 A).

He's scored in every single game for the Rangers this season, and against the Capitals and Logan Thompson can he score his 16th point of the season?

This points streak is setting another record for the breadman himself, as he inches ever closer to 800 points per the NHL.

The Rangers (6-1-1, 13 points) and Capitals (5-2-0, 10 points) meet for the first time since the two clubs clashed during the First Round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Panarin's season-opening point streak has brought the forward within striking distance of 800 career points (271-525-796 in 680 GP) - a mark his counterpart Tuesday, Ovechkin, reached prior to his 700th contest (658 GP). Connor McDavid (545 GP) holds the benchmark for fewest games by an active player.

Panarin reached a career-high of 120 points last season with 49 goals and 71 assists. With another point collected tonight against the Capitals, do you think he can top 120?

He may not be in fact headed for 225 anytime soon, but when you're this hot why not?

But if you do the math yourself, which I have 15/8= 1.875 x 82= 153.75 he's on pace for a whopping 153 points this season.

That's numbers usually you see Connor McDavid posting!

Do you think Artemi Panarin will beat his career best of 120 points this year?
