Artemi Panarin won't play for the Rangers through the Olympic break, AP source says
Panarin, the Rangers’ top scorer with 57 points this season, is held out to preserve health as the team seeks a trade before the March 6 deadline amid roster retooling.
- Wednesday, the New York Rangers removed Artemi Panarin from the lineup, and he is not expected to play through the Olympic break for roster management reasons.
- Earlier this month, the New York Rangers announced a retool after a disappointing first half, and Chris Drury, general manager, told Artemi Panarin they would not offer a new contract.
- Panarin is in the final season of a seven-year, $81.5 million contract and counts $11.6 million against the cap with 19 goals, 38 assists, and 57 points this year.
- The Rangers are seeking a first-round pick and top prospect in return, sources say, with the March 6, 2026 trade deadline approaching and calls on Braden Schneider and Vincent Trocheck ongoing.
- The Rangers' Monday trade of Carson Soucy to the New York Islanders marked just the fourth-ever crosstown trade, highlighting a roster shift before the NHL Olympic roster freeze: 3 p.m. ET Feb. 4 through Feb. 22.
