Artemi Panarin Receives a Huge Demotion After a 'Terrible' Performance

The New York Rangers are facing some tough decisions as they look to turn their playoff fortunes around. After Patrick Kane was benched and demoted for his performance in a recent game against the New Jersey Devils, another former Chicago Blackhawk has joined him on the bottom lines.

Artemi Panarin finished the game with a disappointing plus-minus rating of negative 3, and has now been demoted from the top line to the bottom six forward group.

Panarin has been an important player for the Rangers this season, but his recent struggles have led to a drop in playing time. The Rangers are hoping that he can turn things around and provide a spark for the team as they look to bounce back in the playoffs. It's a tough situation for both Kane and Panarin, but they will need to find a way to contribute if the Rangers hope to advance.
