Artemi Panarin had his eighth career hat trick and the New York Rangers rolled to a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

DETROIT -- Artemi Panarin scored a hat trick and had an assist for the New York Rangers in a 5-2 win against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.

Artemi Panarin continued his torrid start by recording a hat trick as part of a four-point showing as the visiting New York Rangers rolled to a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

Panarin became the first player in Rangers history to open a season by scoring multiple points in each of his first four games.

If you thought the five points Artemi Panarin put up through the first four games of last season foreshadowed his 120-point campaign, the possibilities for the 2024-25 season could be endless after the star Russian wing upped his total to 11 over the same span.
