Panarin in a debut match for Kolambus gave three assists, Bobrovsky - the second star of the day in the NHL

Columbus hockey players won the first victory in the new season of the NHL regular championship, outplaying New York Ilanders at home with a score of 5: 0.

The Russian striker Artemy Panarin, who, as a result of the exchange, moved to the offseason from Chicago to Blue Jackets, became the author of three assists.

Artemy assisted Kam Atkinson (12 '), Ryan Murrey (27') and Zaku Vereenski (31 ').

Russian goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky held the twentieth “dry” match in the NHL, reflecting 29 throws, and was recognized as the second star of the day in the overseas league.

“There was an incredible atmosphere at the stadium,” the NHL official website quotes Sergey’s words. “It was great to win this way before our fans. But the season is long, and this is only one victory. This is only the beginning.”
