Patrik Laine isn’t on the ice for the first minute and a half of a powerplay. Finally with time dwindling he pounces over the boards and into his usual spot on the top of the left circle. A quick pass from Tobias Enstrom resulted in a laser straight off his stick, and off of Cam Talbot’s sprawled out pad.
This is a sight we’ve seen so often on the Winnipeg powerplay. Laine scored two beautiful one-timer goals in the Jets game against the Oilers, so why is he not on the number one powerplay unit?
The Jets first powerplay unit consists of Blake Wheeler, and Mark Scheifele, the Winnipeg Jets two best forwards.
