The Winnipeg Jets were trailing the Washington Capitals 2-1 early in the third period Monday when Paul Stastny took a Dustin Byfuglien pass and, without hesitation, whipped the puck towards the net.
On the receiving end of the cross-ice pass was Patrik Laine, the Jets most dangerous shooter, in what was an unusual moment for the young Finnish sniper. The 19-year-old has built up quite the reputation for his ability to seemingly score at will. So to see him that wide open in front of the net, with no defender close and just the goalie to beat, was certainly a rare scene.
