Patrik Laine gets hat trick in Jets win

LAINE POWERS JETS WITH SECOND HAT TRICK OF SEASON
Playing in his 14th NHL game, 18-year-old rookie Patrik Laine (3-1-4)
scored his second career hat trick
(also Oct. 19 vs. TOR) and had a career-high four points when the Winnipeg Jets scored a season-high eight goals en route to a victory against the Dallas Stars.
* Laine has 11 goals and 15 points to lead the League in goals, two more than the next-closest players (Mark Scheifele and David Pastrnak: 9). He is the first player to score at least 11 goals in his first 14 NHL games
since 1992-93
, when three players -- including Teemu Selanne -- achieved the feat.

* Elias notes that Laine became the fourth player in the NHL's modern era (since 1943-44) to earn multiple hat tricks within his first 14 career games. The others: Bernie Federko (1976-77), Bernie Nichols (1981-82) and Bob Gaudreau (1992-93).
* Laine also became the fourth player in NHL history to score multiple hat tricks before celebrating his 19th birthday, joining Toronto's Jack Hamilton (1943-44), Winnipeg's Dale Hawerchuk (1981-82) and Vancouver's Trevor Linden (1988-89).
LEAGUE-LEADING CANADIENS IMPROVE TO 8-0-0 AT HOME
Carey Price made 41 saves and Paul Byron (1-1-2) scored the go-ahead goal with 1:02 remaining in the third period to help the Montreal Canadiens improve to 11-1-1 this season, including a perfect 8-0-0 at Bell Centre. Elias notes that the Canadiens have started a season with wins in each of their first eight home games for the second time in their history (also 1953-54: 9-0-0).
SHEARY LEADS PENGUINS IN FIRST MCDAVID-CROSBY MATCHUP
Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid had three assists in his first matchup against Sidney Crosby, but Pittsburgh Penguins forward Conor Sheary scored twice, including the game-winning goal with 1:42 remaining in the third period, to lift Pittsburgh to victory.
* The Penguins stretched their overall point streak to seven games (6-0-1) and improved to 6-0-1 on home ice this season.
* Pittsburgh also pushed its point streak against the Oilers to 12 games dating to Dec. 5, 2007 (9-0-3).

KINGS, SHARKS HIT ROAD WITH SHUTOUT WINS
Los Angeles Kings goalie Peter Budaj (19 saves) and San Jose Sharks goalie Martin Jones (24 saves) had shutouts to help their teams begin lengthy road trips with victories:
* Budaj earned shutouts in consecutive appearances (also Nov. 5 vs. CGY) for the first time in his NHL career to help the Kings to their third straight win. Los Angeles erupted for a season-high seven goals en route to their largest margin of victory in a shutout since Feb. 3, 2007 at FLA (7-0 W).
* Jones had his 14th career shutout (and first this season) to help the Sharks end a three-game slide (0-3-0). San Jose has won six consecutive visits to Washington since Feb. 8, 2011 (WSH: 0-4-2).

SEVERAL SKATERS EXTEND PERSONAL STREAKS
A number of players continued their hot hand of late:
* Jets forward Mark Scheifele (2-2-4) had his third straight multi-point performance (4-5-9) to move into sole possession of the League lead with 9-9-18 this season (14 GP).
* New York Rangers teammates Kevin Hayes (4-6-10) and Brady Skjei (0-7-7) each had an assist to stretch their career-high point streaks to six games.
* Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak scored to extend his career-high goal streak to five games (5-1-6). Teammate Brad Marchand (0-1-1) pushed his point streak to five games (2-3-5).
* Rangers rookie Pavel Buchnevich (1-2-3) had the first three-point game of his NHL career and has scored in three straight (3-2-5).
