To me it looks like this alleged assault is nothing more than a smear campaign put on by the government. Panarin publicly spoke against Putin regarding the treatment of Alexei Navalny.
The accusation is coming from Andrei Nazarov- a known loose cannon in Russian hockey. Panarin still has family and friends in Russia. This is a very interesting story.
