Richard Panik Jersey continued his scoring tear
Richard Panik leads the NHL in goals. Let's say that sink in a moment. Panik scored is sixth goal in as many games and it came at quite a time for the Hawks, who sought a second consecutive defeat before Panik tied the game at 18:32 of the third period.
Panik magical ride early in the season continues. Even he acknowledged how unlikely his series was.
"Maybe I'm a bit lucky," Panik said. "I'll just try to find space in goal and that is the place goals are scored from. So it works I'll just keep play that way. "
Panik has six goals on nine shots this season for a percentage of 66.7 percent shooting from outrageous. It's almost as unbearable as the Hawks terrible penalty kill to date (more than a little).
