Artemi Panarin made his way into the New York Rangers locker room during the first period and never returned to the bench.
Unfortunately this seems to be on ongoing I just as, In last week's preseason game against the New York Islanders, Panarin exited early with a lower-body injury.
From last weeks game:
Artemi Panarin just went down the #NYR tunnel
Laviolette says it's a lower-body injury for Panarin. He's still being evaluated. #NYR
However, it remains unclear if the veteran forward's injury was sustained from tonight's game of if it's the same injury that has been bugging him all week long. Clearly leaving the extent of Panarin's injury in question.
