Panarin's line Tuesday matches the production fantasy managers already expected from him. He averages 0.44 goals and 0.69 assists per game in his recent sample, with 3.0 shots and 0.33 power-play points per game.

The Kings have four games left this week, on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Monday. Panarin remains a hold at his established fantasy value, with Tuesday's output representing a normal ceiling game rather than a sign of an emerging trend.
