Rangers' Artemi Panarin: Missing from practice Thursday

Panarin (lower body) was not on the ice Thursday and is considered day-to-day, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Panarin still has time to get back to 100 percent before the season opener against the Penguins on Oct. 9. The veteran winger is coming off a career year in which he set personal bests in goals (49), points (120) and power-play points (44). While this was the first time Panarin reached the 40-goal threshold, he should be capable of doing so again in 2024-25.
