Artemi Panarin was locked in last night, opening the scoring only minutes in and adding three assists. Things have not always been smooth in the top six, but if they are finally turning a corner then it's the perfect time for the conglomerate of talent to finally click. It's been the missing link, as the bottom six has mainly been carrying the Rangers so far.

After arriving from Vancouver, Soucy played just four games before sitting as a healthy scratch, ironically as Adam Fox returned from injury. But Soucy was exceptionally bad in those four games, looking like he was skating in mud and becoming yet another punch line about Chris Drury's moves on defense. The criticism was fair. Soucy's numbers, along with the rest of the Rangers, weren't good.
