Scheifele, Laine score their 13th goals of season to lead Jets over Devils
WINNIPEG — Patrik Laine took his teammates’ advice and it paid off with an end to his six-game goal drought.
The Jets rookie scored his 13th goal of the season, a blast off a high wrist shot past New Jersey Devils netminder Cory Schneider, in a 3-2 Winnipeg victory on Tuesday night.
“People told me in the second intermission that I should try blocker (side),” Laine said. “It was the first shot, blocker and it goes in.
“I was obviously relieved. It was a good goal. I had some pretty good scoring chances in the second period and I just couldn’t score. It was an amazing feeling to get that goal and help my team to win.”
