FILE - New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin (10) is shown in the second period of an NHL hockey game in Denver, in this Wednesday, March 11, 2020, file photo. New York Rangers star Artemi Panarin is taking a leave of absence after a Russian tabloid printed allegations from a former coach that he attacked an 18-year-old woman in Latvia in 2011. Ex-NHL enforcer Andrei Nazarov is the source for the report after coaching Panarin in the Kontinental Hockey League. Nazarov says he was motivated to speak about it because he disagreed with Panarin’s repeated criticism of the Russian government. Panarin denied the allegations in a statement released by the Rangers. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File)
