To start off the game, the Nashville Predators took the puck down the ice and got off a quick shot. The Winnipeg Jets got it out of the zone and Patrick Laine took it down the ice for a counterattack.
Laine then beats Roman Josi, as Josi tried to check Laine when he crossed the Predators blueline, turning the Jets rush into a two-on-one. Laine passed the puck cross ice to Kyle Connor who then dished it back to Laine while avoiding Ryan Ellis’ block.
Laine shot the puck past Juuse Saros just 18 seconds into the game to give the Jets the early lead.
