Breaking news, Patrik Laine can still score.
The Winnipeg Jets forward got the monkey off his back after a six-game goalless skid Tuesday night, wiring a wrist shot over the blocking glove of New Jersey Devils goaltender Cory Schneider early into in the third period.
The goal - Laine's 13th of the season - gives the rookie a share of second place in the league alongside Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak and teammate Mark Scheifele.
