NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Rangers are not doing anything to risk Artemi Panarin's health as they look to deal him before the NHL trade deadline. Panarin is not expected to play in any Rangers games through at least the Olympic break for roster management purposes, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the team did not announce Panarin’s status.
