Patrik Laine’s hat trick powers Winnipeg Jets to 5-2 win over Dallas Stars

The love affair between Patrik Laine and fans of the Winnipeg Jets reached new heights Tuesday night as the Finnish sniper potted his third hat trick of the season in leading his team to a much-needed 5-2 victory over the Dallas Stars. The 18-year-old notched the winner off an offensive zone face-off late in the third period by corralling the puck with Stars defenseman Dan Hamhuis trying to check him and ripping his 25th of the season over the outstretched glove of Antti Niemi .
