BOSTON — Dazed and confused was all I could come up with when I was asked Tuesday night to try to interpret, as best I could, the current state of mind of Winnipeg Jets winger Patrik Laine.
As Winnipeg prepares for Game 51 of the 2018-19 NHL season, a home date Thursday at 7 p.m. against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Laine is mired in the worst scoring slump of his budding NHL career. He has scored just one goal in his last 12 games and a measly four since that magical month of November wrapped up seven weeks ago.
