NHL - Toronto Maple Leafs @ Winnipeg Jets 4-5 OT - Wednesday, October 19, 2016

Patrik Laine scored his first NHL hat trick, including the game-winning goal with 2:20 left in overtime, when the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 at MTS Centre. Laine, the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, scored after Auston Matthews, the No. 1 pick, was stopped on a breakaway by Jets goalie Michael Hutchinson. Laine scored 1:00 into the third period and with 55 seconds left to tie it 4-4. The Jets scored five goals in a row, three in the third period after trailing 4-1 for the second time this season.

Mark Scheifele had a goal and two assists, and Tyler Myers scored for Winnipeg. Hutchinson made 36 saves. Nazem Kadri had two goals, and Connor Carrick and William Nylander scored for the Maple Leafs. Frederik Andersen allowed five goals on 34 shots. Carrick gave the Maple Leafs a 1-0 lead at 6:46 of the first period. Kadri made it 2-0 at 16:12. Nylander made it 3-0 at 6:47 of the second period with the Maple Leafs on a 5-on-3 power play. Matthews got his first NHL assist on the goal.

Kadri scored his second of the game eight seconds later at 6:55 on the power play. Myers scored Winnipeg's first goal of the game at 13:04 of the second period. Laine scored his second NHL goal by spinning off his check and sending a quick shot past Andersen to make it 4-2. Scheifele made it 4-3 on his third goal of the season at 6:05. Laine tied the game 4-4 with his second of the game on the power play. 

* After Matthews' breakaway was stopped by Hutchinson, Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien picked up the rebound and picked out Laine, who streaked down the right side and sent a wrist shot up and over Andersen's glove hand.

* Seconds before Laine's game-winner, Hutchinson denied Matthews on his attempt to go five-hole to win the game for the Maple Leafs after Nylander made a pass to send him on the breakaway.
* Scheifele's goal made it 4-3 and gave the Jets enough time to tie the game.

* Laine's overtime goal to complete his first NHL hat trick, which led to a celebration to the left of Andersen's goal as hats rained from the crowd.

Jets Quotes

Patrik Laine: "Those two periods we were playing so bad, I don't know why, including me. You shouldn't let the other guys score four goals and then start to play. The third period was just amazing from us, again."
"It was just two against one. I'm better two against one from the other side so I decided to shoot. It [overtime goal] just went right where I wanted it to be. It was an amazing feeling."
Paul Maurice: "Two great young players that are going to give their fans reasons to have nights like this over the course of the year and their careers. Starting now. We've just seen brilliance from both of them in the first four games of the season. Lucky for Winnipeg fans and lucky for Toronto fans, they'll get to watch two great young players."

Leafs Quotes

Mike Babcock: "It's disappointing. Any time you're up, you want to shut the game down and you want to take care of it and keep playing.
"But I thought we didn't stay with it the same way and I thought they got better in the third, and in the end we get what we get."
"[Laine] scored three goals. Pretty good. I've seen him a number of times, I know he's a really good player."
It was the first NHL regular-season game between Matthews and Laine.

Austin Matthews: "It's late in the game in overtime. It's tough to make moves, the ice is a little rough, so I tried [to] slide it in there. The goalie read it well, and it's 3-on-3, so you get the puck going one way, it's an odd-man rush the other."

* The Jets inducted the "Hot Line" of Anders Hedberg, Ulf Nilsson and Bobby Hull as the inaugural Hall of Fame class during a ceremony prior to the game.
