Artemi Panarin’s injury has Rangers fans on edge—will the superstar return this season? The dynamic winger left a recent game clutching his arm, sparking fears of a long-term absence. While the team remains tight-lipped, insiders hint at a potential multi-week recovery, putting his playoff availability in doubt.
Panarin is the heartbeat of New York’s offense, with 82 points in 68 games. Losing him now could derail their Cup hopes. Coach Peter Laviolette downplayed concerns, calling it “day-to-day,” but the silence from medical staff speaks volumes.
If it’s a soft-tissue injury, he might be back for the postseason. A fracture? Game over. The Rangers’ depth will be tested, with Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafrenière needing to step up.
One thing’s clear: without Panarin, the road to glory gets much harder. Stay tuned—the next update could make or break their season.
