After missing out last year, Artemi Panarin is relishing his NHL playoff opportunity

DENVER — Back in the playoffs with a new team, Los Angeles Kings forward Artemi Panarin is still carrying part of his old home with him. He walked out of Ball Arena after Tuesday’s morning skate wearing a hat embroidered with two baguettes in honor of his nickname, Breadman. It was a gift from Raphael’s Bakery in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he lived during his 6 1/2 seasons with the New York Rangers.Advertisement
