Pavel Buchnevich provided assists on one of Mika Zibanejad's three goals scored, as well as Artemi Panarin's goal.
Fantasy Impact
Buchnevich will be under a lot of scrutiny this year. The Rangers have been hoping he will be one of the big play-makers on the team, but he has come up short in those expectations the last couple of years. With the acquisition of Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad's terrific scoring ability, Buchnevich is in line to finally silence his critics once and for all. Barring any setbacks, this should be Buchnevich's year.
