Laine surprises young Jets fan after receiving birthday invite
Winnipeg Jets rookie forward Patrik Laine made a young fan's birthday wish come true this week.
On Dec. 25, the uncle of 8-year-old Lucas Bydak tweeted out a letter the boy wrote to Laine wishing him a Merry Christmas and inviting him to his birthday party. "Worth a shot," the uncle said.

Laine wasn't able to make it to the birthday party, so he did the next best thing and personally delivered several gifts to Lucas the following week.
