Patrik Laine Held Pointless In Columbus Debut
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine was held scoreless in 20:54 of ice time in his team's 6-3 defeat to the visiting Dallas Stars on Tuesday. The 22-year-old, making his debut in Columbus following a trade from Winnipeg 10 days ago, finished his night with a plus-two rating, two penalty minutes, two shots and two hits in the loss. While leading all Jackets forwards in ice time by over a minute, Laine premiered on the top line alongside forwards Alexandre Texier and Cam Atkinson. The Finnish sniper may have not lit the lamp in his first game as a Jacket but his usage and deployment are certainly great signs for his fantasy owners. He'll look to do damage in a rematch with the Stars on Thursday.
