Panarin connected on the Rangers' lone goal in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Panarin, who has at least one point in all six games this season, continued his surge Sunday. He didn't get much help, however, as the Rangers' forwards collectively compiled a minus-15 rating. Trailing 3-0 with time running out in the second period, Panarin connected on an unassisted power-play goal. On an early two-point-per-game-pace, Panarin shared the team lead with five shots Sunday and was tagged with a minus-2 rating.
