The scouting reports were true: Patrik Laine can score at will.
The second overall pick of the Winnipeg Jets completed the second hat trick of his 14-game NHL career Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, chipping home a feed from Mark Scheifele in the second period.
Laine's three tallies give him a league-leading 11 on the young season.
