He has scored 16 times since returning to his native Finland for the 2018 NHL Global Series on Nov. 1 - where he scored his first of three hat tricks this month. * Laine tallied the 57th performance of five or more goals in a NHL regular-season game – the 17th by a visiting player - and first since Detroit’s Johan Franzen on Feb. 2, 2011 at OTT. The only other player to score five goals in a game since 1997-98 is Marian Gaborik, on Dec. 20, 2007 vs. NYR. * Laine (20 years, 219 days) is the third different player in League history to score five goals in a game before his 21st birthday, joining Don Murdoch (Oct. 12, 1976: 19 years, 353 days) and Wayne Gretzky, who accomplished the feat twice (Feb. 18, 1981: 20 years, 23 days; and Dec. 30, 1981: 20 years, 338 days).

  • Postgame Notes & Quotes Stanley Cup Playoffs | Round 2 | Game 5
    Postgame Notes & Quotes Stanley Cup Playoffs | Round 2 | Game 5 San Jose Sharks 2, Colorado Avalanche 1 Saturday, May 4, 2019 Philipp Grubauer finished with 37 saves, a postseason career high. Tyson Jost registered his first career playoff goal. Erik Johnson’s five hits is a postseason career high. Nathan MacKinnon saw his eight-game point streak (six goals, seven assists) come to an end. His eight-game stretch was the longest of anyone in this year’s playoffs and the longest by an Avalanche player in the postseason since Peter Forsberg (eight) in 2002. Nikita Zadorov had six hits to bring his total for the postseason to 50, ranked for the third most in the playoffs. Colorado killed 4-of-5 penalties and now has an 87.5% success rate on the penalty kill in Round 2, the third best in the second round. The Avs’ 22 blocked shots are their second most of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs (25, April 28 at San Jose). Colorado LW Gabriel Landeskog On Game 5: “I thought they had a good start. We knew they were going to come hard here in their own building, I thought we weathered the storm OK. The first period, I think on the stats we finished with five shots or something but I think we missed the net probably on 14 of them. It could have been a different period if we just capitalize on some of those scoring chances or hit the net at least, give them a chance. I thought we got better as the game went along.
