Tortorella won't change Panarin's game, plans to play him with Wennberg
Matt Marton-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
If it ain't broke don't fix it. That's the approach Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella plans to take with his club's newest acquisition, Artemi Panarin.
The former Chicago Blackhawks forward tallied 30 and 31 goals in his first two seasons in the league, and Tortorella said he doesn't plan to tinker with what has made him such a dynamic player in his short time, according to NHL.com's Dan Rosen.
The coach also noted he plans to play him alongside Alexander Wennberg.
With Panarin being among the game's better trigger men and Wennberg having led the Blue Jackets with 46 assists, the duo could be a perfect match.
