Rangers left winger Artemi Panarin was named to the First All-Star Team on Thursday night while defenseman Adam Fox was named to the Second All-Star Team, the league announced.

The honor is Panarin's second of his career as the 32-year-old scored a career-high 49 goals (his previous high was 32 in 2019-20) to go along with 71 assists to give him a career-high 120 points. It was the first time Panarin cleared the 100-point mark.

Panarin is joined by center Nathan MacKinnon, right winger Nikita Kucherov, defensemen Quinn Hughes and Roman Josi and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck.

Meanwhile, Fox is making his debut on the Second-Team, having been named First-Team twice already in his career.

The 26-year-old, in his fifth season with the Blueshirts, also had a career-high in goals (17) and finished with 56 assists and 73 points while helping lead New York's stout defense that allowed the sixth-fewest goals (229) in the league.

Rounding out the Second-Team is left-winger Filip Forsberg, center Connor McDavid, right winger David Pastrnak, defenseman Cale Makar and goaltender Thatcher Demko.

Both Panarin and Fox were alternate captains for the Rangers this season.
