Panarin scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Panarin has started the year well with three points over two games, but he has also posted a minus-2 rating. The winger was one of four Kings to earn multiple points Saturday, a group that also included linemates Adrian Kempe and Quinton Byfield. Panarin could lead the Kings in points this season, especially if he remains effective with the man advantage.
