New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin and Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson are the top two players in next summer's free-agent market.

All of a sudden, New York’s road excellence has hit a snag and they're tied for second-worst point percentage in the East.

Panarin is in the final year of a seven-year deal with the Rangers. He was eligible to sign an extension back on July 1, but that’s something that has yet to materialize. As it stands, the Russian star could be the biggest free-agent fish next summer.

TAMPA — Artemi Panarin is beginning to shake off his early season struggles. With a newly shaven head, the star Russian wing has posted nine points — three goals and six assists — in the last four games after assisting on four goals in the Rangers’ 7-3 win over the Lightning on Wednesday night at Benchmark International Arena.

Rangers' star Artemi Panarin is having an off-year offensively, but that isn't the only thing drawing the ire of Mike Sullivan.

The Carolina Hurricanes drop their second game in a row after their 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers. What stood out in the game, good and bad, for the Hurricanes?
