Panarin Produces Another Multi-Point Outing
Artemi Panarin tallied a goal and an assist in Monday’s 6-3 loss to the Canucks. Panarin picked up a helper on Vincent Trocheck’s opening power-play tally in the first period before ripping a wrist shot past Thatcher Demko for a goal in the second. The two-point effort extended Panarin’s point streak to eight games — he has five multi-point performances in that span, totaling nine goals and five assists. The 32-year-old is up to 57 points (26 goals, 31 assists) through 39 games this year, good for third in the league behind Nikita Kucherov and Nathan MacKinnon.
Schenn Ends Scoring Skid in Loss to Panthers
Brayden Schenn scored a goal on a team-high six shots in Tuesday’s 5-1 loss to the Panthers. Schenn accounted for St. Louis’ lone goal 3:24 into the first period Tuesday, ripping a loose puck past Anthony Stolarz to give the Blues an early 1-0 lead. The goal, his first since Nov. 30, snapped a 12-game point drought for the 32-year-old Schenn. The veteran center now has nine goals and 17 points through 39 games this season after tallying 65 points last year.
