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).
