WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The Winnipeg Jets have not won anything of consequence yet but that did not stop their fans from cheering like crazy Thursday.
That's when coach Paul Maurice's gave the highly anticipated injury update on sniper Patrik Laine and had nothing but good news. The 19-year-old has a bruise on his left foot -- nothing is broken -- after blocking a slap shot from Los Angeles defenseman Alec Martinez in the second period of the Jets' 2-1 overtime victory over the Kings on Tuesday.
"When he gets his foot in the (skate) boot and feels comfortable, he'll be back playing," Maurice told his media conference after practice Thursday.
