Winnipeg Jets rookie Patrik Laine has set his mark as he prepares for his first career All-Star Skills Competition.

Laine will be among those taking part in the accuracy shooting contest, and - with a certain swagger - is hoping to improve on his time in the Jets' skills contest.

"I think I'm pretty good at it, but there are a some others guys who are pretty good too," Laine told reporters. "So, let's see how good I am against these guys. Try to improve my time from the Jets' skills competition."

Of course, that will be easier said than done. Laine torched the Jets' skills competition going 4-for-4 in a time of just 8.4 seconds.
