Really nice sequence there from Gustafsson and Panik.
— Chris Hine (@ChristopherHine) January 18, 2016
Richard Panik is 9th different player to score goal for #Blackhawks this season who did not play for them last season (42 goals by those 9)
— Christopher Kamka (@ckamka) January 18, 2016
Panarin, Gustafsson, Rasmussen and Van Riemsdyk ... all regulars, all found by #Blackhawks hockey ops, all signed by Stan Bowman.

Eller ties it up for #Habs on 8th goal of the season, still 13:44 left in 1st here. #Blackhawks and MTL tied 1-1

That's what you get for all the "Habs have no shots" Tweets.
— Greg Boysen (@GregBoysen) January 18, 2016
Blackhawks unable to exit their zone cleanly and it results in the Canadiens scoring. Tied 1-1.

@Blackhawk_Up The Hawks have been playing less than impressive

@Blackhawk_Up A less-than impressive first period comes to an end

#Blackhawks' passing lately: sluggish like a wet sponge.

Blackhawks back to the power play, Mitchell again, this time for high sticking.

Croooooowww!!!!! In French or English who cares?! BIG SAAAAAVE!!

Blackhawks go ahead 2-1 as Hossa stuffs in the puck on the power play. Kane and Toews with the assists.

Toews scores the third goal and also gets the second goal, which was previously credited to Hossa. Meanie. #Blackhawks

#Blackhawks 20 minutes away from 11th straight win and a 3-point lead over Stars for first place. (Stars have played 2 fewer games).
— John Dietz (@johndietzdh) January 18, 2016
#Blackhawks not off to the strongest start here the third. Just a tad shaky.

Kane from Panarin. #HometownHockey #MTLvsCHIhttps://t.co/OBcLHJ1uhR
It’s a beautiful thing to watch two great players make each other even better like Panarin and Kane do on that line.

Almost....ALMOST. Heh. https://t.co/r52GFwLBTb

Best thing about the Kane-Panarin duo is that there's no ego between them. The one who scores always points to the one who gets the assist.
— Charlie Roumeliotis (@CRoumeliotis) January 18, 2016
Also Keith's empty netter has been changed to Hossa's.
