Home in Finland, Jets’ Patrik Laine has hat trick in win
Patrik Laine could hardly find a better place than home to show off his scoring instincts.
Laine had a hat trick as the Jets beat Florida 4-2 in Helsinki on Thursday.
Laine, who is from Finland, scored once in the second period and twice in the third, including an empty-netter, in front of a roaring sellout crowd of 13,500 at Hartwall Arena.
The teams will play in Finland on Friday as well.“I don’t think you can imagine how good that feels,” Laine said. “It’s good to be home and score all those goals back here. It’s pretty awesome.
