Panarin adds three helpers in OT win vs. Flyers
Artemi Panarin notched three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday’s 6-5 overtime win over the Flyers. After setting up Mika Zibanejad for the Rangers’ first goal of the night late in the second period, Panarin notched helpers on the team’s final two tallies, including Adam Fox’s OT winner. Panarin is sprinting toward the finish line, producing three straight multi-point efforts and piling up eight goals and 20 points through 12 contests in March. The 32-year-old is up to 102 points on the season, the first time he’s reached triple digits — he’s now fourth in the NHL scoring race.
MacKinnon Strikes first in Loss to Montreal
Nathan MacKinnon scored a goal on four shots and blocked one shot in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to Montreal. MacKinnon put the Avalanche up 1-0 43 seconds into the first period, but that was the end of Colorado’s offense. And, after the Canadiens scored twice later in the first period, it was the end of the Avalanche’s nine-game win streak. The tally extended MacKinnon’s point streak to 19 games — his second streak of that length this season — and his point streak at home to 35 games. The 28-year-old center is in uncharted territory with a career-high 123 points.
