The Winnipeg Jets needed a little scoring boost throughout most of the second half, and Patrik Laine‘s finally been able to provide some in the playoffs.
Better late than never, right? I guess that also applies to the team as a whole, who finally got their first win of the series. It would be odd to lose both games at home and then go into St. Louis and win two, but I would take it.
That win might have preserved Paul Maurice’s job. Patrik Laine has been a big part. He scored again in this one, his third goal in as many games.
