After a while, Panarin did start to practice with the team in hopes that he would make at least one appearance during the New York Rangers preseason. Unfortunately that didn't happen as he scratched right before the teams second last preseason game as Mike Sullivan and the organization stated that they were going to err on the side of caution.
However, with that being said, Panarin returned for the Rangers opening-night game on October 7th and has since played all five games but it's clear he's dealing with something as he remains scoreless. Resulting in him to open up to the media here's what he had to say:
"The last two, like, I at least feel better. But, yeah, we still lost those games. Not scoring anything, so... It's never easy. Hockey is life for us. You're always thinking about that. We just got to change our way and start winning games, especially got to start winning games at home."
Hopefully things change sooner than later as the Rangers need to start tallying more wins then losses.
