Panarin Hits 900-Point Milestone After Hot Stretch

The former Chicago Blackhawks star notched his 900th career NHL point on Thursday, with a late third-period goal that sealed a 4-2 win for the New York Rangers over the Ottawa Senators.

That milestone is all the more impressive because Panarin reached it in just 781 games, a testament to his consistency and skill level over the years.

He also recorded a goal and an assist in that game, moving him to 9 goals, 21 assists and 30 points through 29 games so far this season with the Rangers.

His form lately has been outstanding. Over the last 13 games alone, he has racked up six goals and 20 points, underlining that despite being 34 years old, he still operates at top level.

To fans who remember his Hawks days, this milestone might feel like old times-but Panarin now belongs to a broader NHL conversation.

Even during his relatively brief stay in Chicago (162 games from 2015-16 to 2016-17), he tallied 61 goals and 90 assists for 151 points, with a plus-26 rating.

That output helped build his reputation; now, with 900 career points, he's reminding everyone he belongs among the top forwards of his generation.

At 34, Panarin still looks dangerous. He creates chances off the rush, finds seams through defense, and remains a threat from nearly anywhere in the offensive zone. For the Rangers this season, that kind of creative spark could prove critical.

For Blackhawks fans, it's a nod to what once was-and a clear sign Panarin's NHL legacy is still growing. I'll be watching to see who hits the next big milestone for him.
