Finally, the long awaited debut of Patrik Laine for the Blue Jackets has arrived. The team’s new sniper is ready to take off against the Dallas Stars tonight.
“I’ve had some pretty good success against those guys, so that’s fun to have them in the same division again,” Laine said after practice. “Hopefully we can keep that hot streak going, but they have a really good team. They started off really well this year, so it’ll be a good matchup.”
