Artemi Panarin enters first full season with Los Angeles Kings

Summary

Artemi Panarin prepares for his first full season with the Los Angeles Kings after joining the organization in a February trade during the 2025-26 NHL season. In his 26-game stint with the team last season, Panarin recorded 27 points. He previously played 52 games for the New York Rangers, contributing 57 points to finish the year with 84 total points in 78 games.
