Rangers' Artemi Panarin steps away from the game of hockey
Artemi Panarin, a star for the New York Rangers this season, is making waves in the Hart Trophy race.
In a sincere video on Rangers' social media, Panarin revealed he and his wife are expecting their second child.
Expressing his joy for this upcoming moment, Panarin has sadly decided to step away from the game he loves momentarily and instead of going to the NHL All-Star Game, he will be spending that week with his wife Alisa and their newborn child.
"Sadly, I can't go to the All-Star Game this year. My wife and I are expecting our second baby. I can't wait for this moment. Thank you for your support. Please vote for my teammates."
The announcement surprised NHL fans as the Rangers' representative for the 2024 NHL All-Star Game turned out to be their goaltender, Igor Shesterkin. Despite Panarin's remarkable season, he graciously acknowledged his family commitment.
The couple, reportedly dating since 2018, got engaged on August 5, 2019, according to The SportsLite.
