The Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues played pretty close hockey for two periods. I guess that was enough for the Jets, though, as the final score looks a bit lopsided at 5-1.
I predicted 4-3 and that Patrik Laine would score two. He did not, but he did get one. The first goal of the season, in his typical fashion, too. On the powerplay, from the circle. What else would you expect?
Someone recently tried to tell me Laine’s production would falter because he scored too much on the powerplay last season.
