One of the few bright spots in this lost Maple Leafs season, is the waiver-wire pick-up of forward Richard Panik.

Now it was believed at the time that the Lightning would live to regret trying to sneak Panik through waivers.

The Lightning, however, have proved to be so deep with scoring wingers, they've barely blinked. In fact, they traded another -- Brett Connolly - to Boston for picks because they figured he wasn't going to clear waivers, either.

The Leafs are happy to have Panik.

Let's look at Panik by the numbers.

10 -- Panik has produced 10 goals (although just four assists) in very limited playing time. Seven of those goals were at even strength.

679th -- In terms of time on ice, he's averaging 10 minutes 56 minutes of ice time a game. That rates him 679th in the league. He has more goals than anybody with that kind of ice time.

192nd -- In terms of goals, Panik's 10 puts him tied for with 32 others for 192nd overall. Some of those others: Patrick Sharp, Ryan O'Reilly, Mark Scheifele. Everybody with 10 goals has done so getting far more ice time.

100th -- When you break down his goals versus his time-on-ice, he rockets up the standings to 100th. He produces a goal every 65 minutes 41 seconds minutes of play, good for 100th on the list. He is also third on the Leafs -- behind Phil Kessel, a goal every 53 minutes 14 seconds for 55th in the league, and James van Riemsdyk, a goal every 56 minutes 56 seconds for 66th in the league.

79th -- When you look only at even-strength goals and playing time, Panik moves up even higher, to 79th with a goal every 66:12. Who's right in front of him? Kessel, 78th, with an even strength goal every 65:38.
