Panarin cleared COVID-19 protocol and is expected to play Monday in Los Angeles.

Panarin missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but was back at practice on Sunday and is expected to play Monday vs. the Kings. The Rangers managed to go 3-1-0 without Panarin but his return will obviously be a very welcomed addition to the top-6 and PP1. Panarin has registered 10 goals and 26 assists (36 points) in 31 games this season.

Panarin has taken a leave of absence from the Rangers.

Panarin is reportedly taking a leave of absence from the Rangers after a "political hit piece against him from Russia alleging that he beat up an 18-year-old girl in Russia in 2011." The report goes on to say that "Retribution was feared after Panarin's Instagram post on 1/21 in support of opposition leader Alexi Navalny with caption "Freedom for Navalny." Panarin, who has family in Russia, has been outspoken against [Vladimir] Putin."

Panarin (lower-body) is expected to return to the Rangers lineup on Thursday.

Panarin has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Thursday in Philadelphia. Panarin, who is expected to skate with Ryan Strome and Kaapo Kakko, leads the Rangers with 15 points (5G / 10A) in 12 games this season.

Panarin (lower-body) will miss his second straight game on Tuesday.

Panarin continues to deal with what the Rangers are calling a short-term lower-body injury but it will keep him sidelined again on Tuesday. The Rangers should stick with the same lineup up front and Panarin should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

Panarin is questionable for Friday due to a lower-body injury.

Panarin didn't play much in the third period or overtime during Wednesday's loss to the Bruins and is questionable to play in the rematch on Friday. Head coach David Quinn didn't sound overly concerned about the injury, calling it "a little bit of a lower-body injury," so it seems like there's a decent chance he suits up on Friday.
