Artemi Panarin Leading Kings' Playoff Push After Productive Start

Since his February trade from the Rangers, Panarin has recorded 12 points in 10 games for the Kings. He tallied a goal and two power-play assists in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey, helping Anze Kopitar reach 1,308 career points. Now signed through 2028, the 34-year-old is adjusting to his new team while focusing on a playoff push. Panarin has 22 goals and 47 assists in 62 games this season and is embracing his role as a primary offensive catalyst for Los Angeles.
