Winnipeg Jets sniper Patrik Laine said he's shed 14 pounds since last season ended.

A leaner-looking Laine arrived in town earlier this week and has been participating in informal on-ice workouts with many of his teammates at Bell MTS Iceplex.

“I tried to get quicker, more speed, tried to lose some weight so I can get faster. It feels pretty good," Laine said following Thursday's skate.
