Jesse Ylönen’s two goals were not enough for the Montreal Canadiens to win. Patrik Laine’s Columbus suffered its seventh consecutive loss.
A Finnish forward in ice hockey’s NHL Jesse Ylönen was on top of his game and scored two goals in the Vegas Golden Knights net. The Montreal Canadiens finally bowed out 5-6 and suffered their third straight loss.
Both of Ylönen’s goals came in the second period, which saw a total of six goals. First, he ran away from the start of the defensive end and took his team to a 3–1 lead. A few minutes later, Ylönen shot his team into a 4–3 lead.
The final set was tied at 4-4. At the end of the final set, Vegas struck twice with superiority within a minute and Montreal’s streak came to an end.
Patrik Laine was benched
The plight of the Columbus Blue Jackets deepens. The team suffered its seventh straight loss when it bowed to the Arizona Coyotes 2–3. The Blue Jackets are in last place in the Eastern Conference.
Frustration with the situation was also visible in the Finnish attacker, who was left with no power points Patrik Laine in excerpts. Already at the end of the opening set, he broke his racket in the changing room after a poorly run exchange. Laine had to watch the last ten minutes of the final set entirely from the side of the bench.
In addition to Laine, also another of the team’s highest paid players, Johnny Gaudreau, was benched in the final set.
