Artemi Sergeyevich Panarin (Russian: Артемий Сергеевич Панарин; born 30 October 1991) is a Russian professional ice hockey winger currently playing for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Personal life

Panarin moved to the United States in August 2015 after joining the Chicago Blackhawks. Panarin did not speak English at the time, and moved in with a Russian-born family who were Chicago residents. The family helped Panarin transition to his new surroundings and culture. Panarin also has a personal translator who helps him conduct interviews before and after games.[1] His fellow Russian teammates, Viktor Tikhonov, who briefly played with the Blackhawks in 2015, and Artem Anisimov also helped Panarin understand English while playing hockey.[2] Panarin was affectionately nicknamed the "Bread Man", a reference to the Panera Bread restaurant chain, by his teammates and coaches on the Blackhawks.[3]

Playing career

KHL

Panarin was not selected in the 2010 NHL Draft and began his professional hockey career in the Kontinental Hockey League with HC Vityaz.[4] Midway through the 2012–13 season, Panarin was traded by Vityaz after producing 18 points in 40 games to SKA Saint Petersburg in exchange for a draft pick on January 31, 2013.[5] Panarin tallied 26 goals and 62 points in 54 appearances for St. Petersburg during the 2014–15 season. He played a significant role in the team's championship run, registering 20 points in 20 postseason games.[6] He was named to the KHL first all-star team in 2014–15.[7]

NHL

Panarin signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on April 29, 2015. He scored his first career NHL goal against Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers in the first game for the Blackhawks.[8] On February 17, 2016, Panarin scored his first career NHL hat trick against the New York Rangers.[9] Panrin appeared in 80 games for the Blackhawks during the 2015–16 season, during which he recorded 30 goals and 47 assists. He led all rookies with 77 points, which also ranked within top ten among all skaters for the season.[10] Panarin found instant chemistry with Patrick Kane and fellow-Russian Artem Anisimov on the Blackhawks’ second line. Kane, who won the NHL’s Art Ross Trophy in 2015–16, cited Panarin as a major contributor to his success.[11]

On April 15, 2016, Panarin scored his first NHL playoff goal in Game 2 of the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs against the St. Louis Blues. [12] During the playoffs, he had a total of 7 points. On May 3, 2016, Panarin was named as a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy, awarded to the NHL's top rookie.[13]
