A look at Artemi Panarin's NHL career and achievements
After a successful career in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), Artemi Panarin joined the Chicago Blackhawks as a free agent on May 1, 2015.
Playing alongside fellow Russian Artem Anisimov and Patrick Kane, he quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with. In his rookie season, Panarin recorded an impressive 30 goals and 77 points, earning him the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie.
Panarin had previously showcased his skills on North American ice during the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship. Before his NHL debut, Panarin had enjoyed a successful seven-year stint in the KHL, culminating in a standout season in 2014-15.
Panarin's transition to the NHL was seamless, marked by scoring in his debut game and tallying a hat trick against the New York Rangers. After a productive stint with the Blackhawks, Panarin was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2017. He continued his impressive form, leading the team with 82 points in his first season, helping them secure consecutive playoff appearances.
In 2019, Panarin signed a lucrative seven-year contract with the New York Rangers and helped them reach the Eastern Conference Final in 2022.
