Flames star Laine out for game against Jets

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The Calgary Flames are coming to town but you can excuse the Winnipeg Jets if they are not totally focused on their Monday night opponent's strengths and weaknesses

That's because the Flames' leading goal scorer and cornerstone of the franchise, Patrik Laine, is out indefinitely with a concussion.

The Finnish phenom, who leads all rookies in scoring with 37 points and is tied with Toronto's Auston Matthews for the goal-scoring lead with 21, got rocked by an open-ice hit from Buffalo defenseman Jake McCabe in the third period of Saturday afternoon 4-3 loss to the Sabres.
