from Roy MacGregor of the Globe and Mail,
Patrik Laine confessed he had “no idea what to expect.”
How could he? The teenage superstar of the Winnipeg Jets – 44 goals in the regular season – is only in his second year with the NHL club.
Last year, the Jets, as usual, missed the postseason entirely.
In fact, since relocating here in 2011 – they were previously the Atlanta Thrashers – they have only played once in the Stanley Cup playoffs. They have not only never won a series, they have never won a game.
All that changed on Wednesday night when the Jets came from behind to claim a 3-2 victory on a late goal from journeyman defenceman Joe Morrow.
Game highlights are below.
