You could maybe call Richard Panik perfect to start the season.
He has six goals in six games, the latest a game-tying goal with just under a minute and a half to go. What’s not to love about that? And apparently he’s, uh, channeling Martin Havlat?
Since 1995-96, the only other Chicago player to average at least one goal per team game over the Blackhawks' first six games of a season was Martin Havlat in 2006-07 (seven goals).
Havlat did get off to a hot start for his first season in Chicago: he had 10 goals in his first nine games, and ultimately finished with a 25-goal season (and 57 points, for good measure).
