The New York Rangers organization has issued a surprise statement regarding Artemi Panarin

Today the New York Rangers made a surprise announcement celebrating Artemi Panarin as it's his birthday today.

Today is Artemi Panarin's birthday, and as the superstar turns 33-years old and the New York Rangers made a post on social media wishing the star a Happy Birthday to who was born on October 30th, 1991.

The now 33-year old superstar has been on fire for the New York Rangers this season, as he has already put up 15 points (6 goals and 9 assists) in just 9 games. Which is pretty impressive considering he was sidelined at the beginning of the season after sustaining a lower-body injury during the preseason.

However, the star is back and is looking to achieve a new career high this season, and win the Hart Trophy for the first time. As he ultimately fell short last season even though he managed to put up 120 (49 goals, 71 assists) points throughout the 2023-24 season.

But, if he can remain consistent, there's no reason to believe he'll be a shoe-in for the Hart Trophy, and help lead the New York Rangers past the Eastern Conference Finals and to the Stanley Cup this season.

Do you think Artemi Panarin will set a new career high and put up more than 120 points this season? Let us know in the poll down below and stay tuned to NY Rangers Insider for the latest news and updates on the New York Rangers.
