Weekend power rankings: Welcome to the Patrik Laine show

Man,u200b how fun wasu200b that?

Patriku200b Laineu200b wentu200b oldu200b schoolu200b on Saturdayu200b night, lighting upu200b the Blues foru200b fiveu200b goals, in the Jetsu200bu200b to an 8-4 win. It was a million-dollar performance – both figuratively, because it was amazing, and literally, because it won a lucky Jets fan $1-million as part of a sponsored sweepstakes. Never let it be said that NHL players don’t give back to the community.

It was only the third time this century that a player has hit the five-goal mark in a single game (Johan Franzen in 2011 and Marian Gaborik in 2007).
