Patrik Laine scores twice to extend point streak, Jets beat Stars 4-2
WINNIPEG — Patrik Laine promised he’ll do better in the next Winnipeg Jets game.
The vow came after the sophomore sniper scored twice Sunday in a 4-2 victory over the Dallas Stars.
The performance tied him at 43 goals with Alex Ovechkin as the top NHL goal scorer, but he said he hopes to vault his boyhood idol when the Jets host the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.
“Like I’ve said before, maybe a week ago, I don’t want to be tied. I want to take the solo lead and I’ll try to do that next game,” Laine said.
