Laine Scores Twice in 3-2 Jets Victory Over Hurricanes Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/laine-scores-twice-in-3-2-jets-victory- over-hurricanes-475785853.html Laine scores twice in 3-2 Jets victory over Hurricanes By: Mike McIntyre RALEIGH, N.C. — It's one of the best reality shows going right now in the National Hockey League, and Patrik Laine took his act on the road and put on another stellar episode Sunday night, this time for the fine folks of Raleigh who likely didn't appreciate it as much as those in Winnipeg do. Laine scored twice — ho hum, what else is new? — and assisted on another to lead the Jets to a 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes as they kicked off a six-game road trip. It's the second straight game, and third time in four, the Finnish sniper has lit the lamp twice as he continues to climb up the NHL record book in addition to helping his team gather valuable points in the playoff race. "I can feel it, when the game is going to be like that, when you’re going to get a lot of chances," the 19-year-old said following the game. With 35 goals so far this season, Laine is now up to 71 in his career. That puts him sixth for goals scored by a teenager in NHL history. Jimmy Carson leads the way with 92, and Laine said earlier Sunday he had visions of leading that list when all was said and done. We think he was joking, considering there are just 17 regular-season games left in the season, after which he will turn 20. But with the way he's shooting the puck right now and the confidence with which he's playing, who's going to doubt him? Sidney Crosby (75), Wayne Gretzky (76) and Brian Bellows (76) are clearly within range, while Dale Hawerchuk's 85 would certainly need a huge push. Consider this: Laine's two goals Sunday probably came on his fourth and fifth best chances of the game. In one incredible first-period shift, he rang a shot off the crossbar, hit the post seconds later and then fired wide from point-blank range. It was utter dominance. "I was pretty mad at myself. I should have scored from those chances. And I thought they’re not going to pass to me anymore if I can’t bury it from those chances, but thank God they did," Laine said with a perfectly straight face. And he also showed he's more than just a scorer, making a pair of fine defensive plays during the game which helped Winnipeg break the puck out of their own zone and escape trouble. Laine has 10 goals and six assists in the eight games since moving down to the so-called third line along with Nikolaj Ehlers. Andrew Copp was between them the first five games before deadline day trade addition Paul Stastny took the spot, creating a matchup nightmare for opponents such as the Hurricanes. "They were real good, but they were good in their own end too. They battled some pucks out at times," coach Paul Maurice said after the game. "They throw a lot of pucks at the net, compete real hard, and we had to be pretty solid in front of our net. But the Stastny line has been (good) and I think there’s more there as they get more and more used to each other. They’ve got a real nice chemistry." As for the rest of Sunday's game, goalie Connor Hellebuyck's effort can't be overlooked or underappreciated. He stopped 33 of 35 shots he faced, including all 17 during a second-period barrage where his team had to kill off a pair of penalties. "I thought that’s exactly how we wanted to play. We grinded, we played hard, and our details were right. And then we battled right to the end," said Hellebuyck, who has now tied Kari Lehtonen for the single-season franchise record for victories with 34. "It means I need one more," Hellebuyck said of what that achievement means to him. "We’re having a fun time, it’s a great year, we know we have a lot more work ahead of us and that’s what we’re looking forward to." Laine's first goal, just 5:40 into the opening period, came off a nice feed from Ehlers. His shot went right through the five-hole of Carolina goalie Cam Ward, who will likely be seeing Laine in his nightmares for the next few days. Newcomer Joe Morrow picked up the other assist for his first point in three games since joining the Jets. Another pair of Finnish stars helped the Hurricanes tie it up late in the period. Just seconds after Josh Morrissey stepped out of the penalty box for a slashing infraction, Teuvo Teravainen's pass attempt went off Dmitry Kulikov and beat Hellebuyck. Sebastian Aho had the assist, giving him 100 points on his career. Laine put the Jets back in the lead 2:37 into the second period only six seconds after Aho went to the penalty box for high-sticking Stastny in the face. Once again it was right through Ward's legs. Stastny made it 3-1 midway through the final period off a circus-like play. Laine fed Ben Chiarot, whose shot went off the crossbar, off referee Eric Furlatt's shoulder and right on to the stick of Stastny, who fired it past a stunned Ward, who was still searching for the puck on the play. "I didn’t see anything. Patty made a great play by keeping the puck alive, I thought (Chiarot) would at least look at us, but you know D-men: when they see the net they shoot," said Stastny. "I just heard it hit post or crossbar, and then I literally didn’t know where it went. I didn’t see it hit the post, I just heard it, then all of a sudden I see it in front of me. Out of the corner of your eye you kinda see the goalie out of position." Stastny, who assisted on Laine's second goal, now has two goals and two assists in the three games he's played with Winnipeg. His goal proved to be the game-winner, as Jordan Stall scored with just over four minutes left to make it a one-goal game. Winnipeg improves to 39-17-9 on the season, including 5-0-1 in their past six road games dating back to mid-January. The Jets remain in second place in the Central Division, six points back of Nashville and six up on Minnesota. The road trip continues Tuesday when they face the New York Rangers. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/mason-joining-jets-monday-475786303.html Mason joining Jets Monday Hutch likely heading back to Moose By: Mike McIntyre RALEIGH, N.C. — The crease is about to get crowded for the Winnipeg Jets. Steve Mason is expected to join the team Monday in New York after getting a clean bill of health following his second concussion of the season. Mason returned to action Saturday afternoon in Winnipeg, stopping 18 of 22 shots in a 5-4 win by the Manitoba Moose over the Iowa Wild. He had been sent down for a conditioning start as he works his way back from the injury suffered Jan. 12. "He won and saw some pucks. It wasn't nearly as much action as we hoped. But he felt good," coach Paul Maurice said of Mason's outing. Mason's return likely means Michael Hutchinson is heading back to the Moose. The pending unrestricted free agent has been on emergency recall with the Jets, winning both his starts and posting a 2.00 GAA and .933 SV%. Mason is 3-6-1 this season with Winnipeg, with a 3.52 GAA and .897 SV%, after signing a two year contract last summer that pays him $4.1 million this season and next. Maurice hinted Sunday that Mason will see some action as this six-game road trip continues, with the idea of giving workhorse Connor Hellebuyck a bit of a breather. "We'll look at these road games as places to rotate goaltenders," said Maurice. "We'll get into a bit of a rotation a couple of times You can add Carolina coach Bill Peters to the growing list of hockey personnel impressed by what the Jets have accomplished this season. He was quick to heap praise on Winnipeg when asked what he's seen so far this season — while adding he's seen just about enough of one particular player. "They're a real deep team, real mobile on the back end. All four lines really play the same way. They've got an identity they play towards, they can be dangerous in multiple situations. Obviously the power play, Laine's got a whack of power play goals. I got tired of looking at them. There's lots of them," Peters cracked following Sunday's morning skate. "Lots of offence throughout the lineup and deep down the middle when they get everybody in there. But they're deep as it is right now. They got guys getting closer to getting back, they'll become even deeper." Toby Enstrom could return to the lineup as early as Tuesday night's game against the New York Rangers. The veteran defenceman has missed the past three games after getting hurt blocking a shot in practice last week.

  • Plenty to Ponder Ahead of Deadline Cheveldayoff Has Options Before Trade Window Closes on Monday
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-only-worry-about-the-next-game-not- trade-rumours-474509663.html Plenty to ponder ahead of deadline Cheveldayoff has options before trade window closes on Monday By: Mike McIntyre A blockbuster move? A depth piece or two? Nothing at all? Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff says all options are on the table heading into Monday’s NHL trade deadline — and plenty of intrigue surrounds what the local squad might do. The Jets resemble a Stanley Cup contender and have the prime opportunity they’ve been building toward for years. "I couldn’t tell you with a crystal ball what we’re going to be talking about Monday with respect to additions, or not, with our group," Cheveldayoff said Tuesday in a wide-ranging conversation with the Free Press. Cheveldayoff made it clear that while he’s willing to move draft picks and prospects to help his team win now, there are a few untouchables. While he wouldn’t identify them by name, one has to think young players such as Kyle Connor, Jack Roslovic and 2017 first-round pick Kristian Vesalainen might be among them. "We have assets within this organization — whether they’re picks or prospects — and there’s going to be a threshold that will be determined as to whether we will use them or not," Cheveldayoff said. "There’s some assets within our organization that I will not use. If there’s the right fit, and the right deal, then certainly I’d be willing to do that.

Department of Economics Department of Business Institute for Labour Law and and the Murphy Institute Nevada State College Industrial Relations in the Tulane University European Union IZA GLO [email protected] Rossi, G. University of Birkbeck London Working Paper 2107 May 2021 Abstract We investigate whether employees vary their performance during fixed-term contracts. We follow National Hockey League players’ performance over ten seasons. We use a two-stage least square fixed effect model to address empirical limitations in previous studies. We find that players’ performance varies at the end of the contract depending on ability, tenure, and (geographical) willingness to move. In particular, long-tenure and low-ability short-tenure workers vary their performance, depending on their continent of origin; these results might be due to different willingness to move, at different stages of players’ career.

  • Trio Has Super Time in Minneapolis on Super Sunday
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/trio-has-super-time-in-minneapolis-on- super-sunday-472850603.html Trio has super time in Minneapolis on Super Sunday By: Mike McIntyre Three members of the Winnipeg Jets had a truly super Sunday. Mark Scheifele, Andrew Copp and Jacob Trouba took advantage of an off-day and made the quick trip to Minneapolis to watch the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII. "Unbelievable," Scheifele said Monday following practice. "Obviously lucky that it was in Minnesota, we had a day off. I surprised my brother and my best friend with their Christmas gifts — they got to come to the Super Bowl. And then Copper and Troubs came, too. It’s definitely something to cross off the bucket list and something that I’ll never forget." They took an early morning flight, soaked up the atmosphere before and during the game, and then caught a late-night flight home. Copp, a former high school quarterback in Michigan, said it was a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" and marvelled at getting to watch New England quarterback Tom Brady in action — even if it was in a losing effort. "It was a crazy game. There wasn’t much more Tom could have done — maybe catch the ball — but he was unbelievable," Copp said. "I turned to (Trouba) a few times and it was just like, ‘Wow, he’s playing one of the best games of his career, probably.’ And then (Philadelphia quarterback Nick) Foles made some great throws, too, so it was definitely an entertaining back- and-forth game." Copp and Scheifele didn’t hide their rooting interests, sporting Brady jerseys.
