Jets 5, Maple Leafs 4 (overtime)
The first chapter of the Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine story
was an instant classic.
Laine, the No. 2 overall pick in this past summer's draft, stole
the show by scoring a hat trick -- including the game-tying goal
in the final minute of play and the overtime winner as the
Winnipeg Jets edged the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime.
Laine's winning snipe came seconds after Matthews -- the No. 1
overall pick who scored four goals in his debut last week -- was
denied on a clear-cut breakaway by Jets goalie Michael
Hutchinson.
The end result was a wild 5-4 victory by the Jets, one that saw
them erase an early 4-0 deficit.
Red Wings 2, Rangers 1
Jimmy Howard made 32 saves as the Detroit Red Wings emerged with
a 2-1 victory against the New York Rangers at Madison Square
Garden.
Thomas Vanek scored a power-play goal in the second period and
Drew Miller scored the winner early in the third period after
Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist fumbled the puck behind his
own net.
Center Mika Zibanejad scored for the Rangers. Lundqvist stopped
16 shots.
