Panarin Adds Three Assists in Win
Artemi Panarin collected three assists while adding two shots on net, two PIM, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Thursday’s 5-1 win over the Devils. The 32-year-old was a game-time call after missing Wednesday’s practice due to a minor lower-body injury. That said, Panarin saw his usual workload and produced another outstanding line in the box score. It’s his third three-point performance in the last four games. He has crept back into the top five in the NHL scoring race with 78 points (32 goals, 46 helpers) in 57 games. If he’s able to avoid an injury down the stretch, Panarin appears headed for his first career 100-point campaign.
Konecny Suffers Undisclosed Injury
Travis Konecny exited Friday’s practice because of an undisclosed injury, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Konecny got off the ice under his own power, but he seemed to be in discomfort and didn’t rejoin his teammates for the remainder of practice. There was no update on his status after the skate, so it’s hard to know what his chances are of playing Saturday versus the Rangers. If Konecny and Tyson Foerster (lower body) are both unavailable, then Philadelphia will likely need to call up a forward, possibly Olle Lycksell, who was returned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Thursday.
