Artemi Panarin

Panarin was already producing 0.44 goals and 0.69 assists per game in his recent sample before this performance. He logs 20:54 a night and 3:06 on the power play, ranking second among all Kings skaters in power-play time. He contributes 0.33 power-play points per game alongside 3.0 shots, though he provides minimal help in hits (0.2) and blocks (0.2).

The winger has two games left this week, on Saturday and Tuesday. With his value already established at this level, managers who roster him should continue starting him. His process grade of 55 suggests his current scoring rate is not outpacing his underlying play.

What to do

• Keep Panarin active in all formats, as his recent averages already priced in elite production before this game.

• Use him in both remaining games this week (Saturday and Tuesday) without hesitation.

• Do not expect peripheral help beyond his scoring and shots, as he contributes minimal hits and blocks.
