Laine scores 49th NHL goal in 100th game with Jets, joins select company

Patrik Laine joined some impressive company Sunday while his Winnipeg Jets continued to climb the NHL standings.
Playing in his 100th NHL game, the Jets forward scored his 13th goal of the season
in a 5-0 win
against the Ottawa Senators. It also was his 49th NHL goal, making him the fourth player since the beginning of the 2005-06 season to score at least 49 goals in his first 100 games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

The other three: Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals (64 goals), Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs (52) and Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins (49).
It was the sixth straight home win for the Jets (17-6-4), who are first in the Western Conference with 38 points.
