Winnipeg Jets' Patrik Laine celebrates his go-ahead goal over the Minnesota Wild during second period NHL action in Winnipeg on Thursday.

They may not be as deep as they once were, but a sizzling top line and a hot goaltender can help cover a lot of perceived deficiencies.

Patrik Laine, Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele combined for eight points while Connor Hellebuyck made 38 saves as the Winnipeg Jets downed the Minnesota Wild 5-2 in their home-opener Thursday night at Bell MTS Place.
