“It’s always scary to face him”

Finnish striker Columbus Blue Jackets Patrik Laine played his second pointless match in the tube when the team lost to the Winnipeg Jets in overtime in the hockey NHL. The host team rose Nikolai Ehlersin with a goal to a 4-3 win.

Oliver Bjorkstrand raised Columbus’ hopes in the final minute of regular time by hitting a 3-3 draw.

Laine began her NHL career in Winnipeg. He was trafficked to Columbus in January last year. Laine played in her former home trough for the first time since a transfer just over a year ago.

Laine (-1) took charge over 20 minutes and scored four goals per goal.

– Of course, this was a special evening for me. Two points would have made this even more special, but yes, the point is valid. Overall, I thought the match was even. Too bad we didn’t score in extra time, Laine said after the game.

The Jets players respect Laine and know how good a scorer he is.

– It’s always scary to face Laine. For years, we saw how dangerous he is in the attack zone when he gets a little time and space. He’s a really dangerous player, a defender of Winnipeg Josh Morrissey said.

Colorado Avalanche Mikko Rantanen was selected as the game’s three-star in a home game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Rantanen recorded the power of 1 + 1 of Avalanche’s 6–3 victory.

At the end of the opening round, Rantanen took the 4th to 1-lead lead in Colorado, when the Finnish striker’s bet bounced in through the Flyers. Rantanen recorded his entry point for the defender Cale Makarin 6-3 hits in the middle of the third installment.

Rantanen, who is ranked 12th on the NHL points exchange, has already racked up 32 + 45 = 77 this season.

– Mikko has been a solution player in the bulk of our matches. He has been a dominant player before, but now he seems to focus especially on the defense and guard game. He still makes a score in the offensive game, Colorado head coach Jared Bednar praised the Finn.

The best player of the match was Makar, who scored two goals and set a new club record. Makar, who has scored 24 goals this season, is now the most goal-scoring defender in the history of Avalanche.

In the NHL, Makar leads the defenders ’goal exchange with 24 hits, which is also the defenders’ record in Colorado.

– Mikko said on the bench that it is a new record, Makar said.

– It’s pretty great and it’s great to achieve something like that, but the goals still belong to the team. We are now just focusing on completing the regular season with honor.

Rantanen dug the spot into the festive goal with the starting victory of the attacking head. From the start, he moved the puck back to Makari, who sent the puck with an accurate shot to the Flyers goal in the upper right corner.

The New York Rangers took a spectacular 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins at home. After more than four minutes of play, the hosts had already scored three goals.

The visitors only scored their only goal in the third installment, Kasperi Kapanen was paving the way Jeff Carterin hits.

Chris Kreider scored two of Rangers’ goals and scored one, Mika Zibanejad in turn, acknowledged three entry points. At the same time, Zibanejad broke the limit of 500 NHL points. The Swedish striker has now scored a total of 502 points (226 + 276) in a total of 669 NHL matches.
