Russian forward Artemi Panarin of the New York Rangers has surpassed Mark Messier in points in one season in the National Hockey League (NHL) in the team's history. After the match against Pittsburgh, where Panarin recorded an assist, he now has 108 points by the "goal + assist" system in the current season. This puts him in third place in this category. The record is held by Jaromir Jagr, who scored 123 (54 + 69) points in the 2005/06 season. It seems Kucherov is close to a new record for points in a single NHL regular season among Russians.
