An investigative piece from TheAthleticHQ has dropped stating that #NewYorkRangers forward Artemi Panarin and Madison Square Garden Sports paid financial settlements to an employee who alleges that Panarin sexually assaulted her. According to the story by katiejstrang, the alleged assault took place in December 2023 during a #Rangers road trip. Panarin allegedly took the woman’s phone and would only give it back if she came to his hotel room. The #NHL has been aware of the alleged incident and has, “considered the matter closed.” For the full piece, you can head to the link in my bio and/or my Instagram story. 📸: fourstanleycups #NYR #NYRangers #ArtemiPanarin
