Patrik Laine scores winner – for the Oilers – in Jets’ 3-2 loss to Edmonton
EDMONTON — Patrik Laine has scored a lot of big goals in his rookie season with the Winnipeg Jets. Unfortunately, he scored a big goal for the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.
Laine accidentally rifled the puck into his own net as the Oilers snapped a four-game losing skid with a 3-2 victory over the Jets. The winner was credited to Edmonton forward Mark Letestu and stood as the game winner.
Laine was clearly not in the mood to discus his late-game gaffe.
“I think everybody saw what happened. That’s my comments,” said the Finnish rookie, who has 17 goals for the Jets in just 32 games. “It was just a bad position for me. An unfortunate goal.”
