Artemi Panarin: our analysis

2025-26 season: 26 GP, 9 G, 18 A, 27 PTS, +9 +/-, 20:42 TOI. WAR 4.4 (8th of 615) · PAL 84, excellent.

In 2025-26, Artemi Panarin, 35, posts a PAL Rating of 84 out of 100 (excellent), and his WAR of 4.4 ranks 8th among 615 regulars, among the league's elite.

His strengths: power play (97, among the best in the league), offense (89, among the best in the league) and possession (84, well above average). On the other hand, penalty kill (18, well below average) and creation (29, below average) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+7.5).

A season in line with 2024-25 (PAL of 85); his WAR went from 4.6 to 4.4.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 61 (good value) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Artemi Panarin's story

Growing up in Korkino, Panarin began skating under the encouragement of his grandfather and developed through the Traktor hockey school in Chelyabinsk, where he trained intensively as a youth. Those early years in Russia set the foundation for a professional path that began in the KHL with Vityaz Chekhov.

Undrafted in 2010, he rose through the KHL ranks, moving to Ak Bars Kazan and later to SKA Saint Petersburg. The 2014–15 campaign with SKA was a breakout: 26 goals and 62 points in 54 regular-season games, then 20 points across 20 playoff contests, culminating in SKA’s 2015 Gagarin Cup and a spot on the KHL first all-star team.

Panarin signed with the Chicago Blackhawks on 29 April 2015 and adapted quickly to the NHL. In 2015–16 he scored 30 goals and added 47 assists for 77 points in 80 games, leading rookies and earning the Calder Trophy. After two productive seasons in Chicago he was traded to Columbus in June 2017, where he set franchise single-season point marks (82, then 87 points) and played a central part in Columbus’s first-ever playoff series victory, a four-game sweep of Tampa Bay in 2019.

A free-agent signing for New York on 1 July 2019, Panarin agreed to a seven-year deal with the Rangers and produced career highs, including a 95-point season in 2019–20 and several franchise scoring records and streaks. Midway through the 2025–26 season, as New York retooled, Panarin was traded to the Los Angeles Kings on 4 February 2026 and immediately signed a two-year extension.

Internationally, Panarin left a mark early by scoring the game-winner in Russia’s comeback victory over Canada to capture gold at the 2011 World Junior Championship. He later represented Russia at senior world championships and the 2016 World Cup, collecting medals at the World Championship level. On the ice he is best known for point production: a creative playmaker with finishing skill and a consistent offensive presence in both the KHL and the NHL.
