Talk about a great irst impression. Early in the first period of New York's game against the Seattle Kraken, recently acquired forward Vladimir Tarasenko scored his first goal as a Ranger.

Tarasenko's teammate and long-time friend, Artemi Panarin, came down the wing in Seattle's zone and passed it out in front to the Yaroslavl native, who tapped it through the five-hole of Martin Jones to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead.
