Patrik Laine scores his first five-on-five goal with the Canadiens.

Patrik Laine is a master of the power play. When the puck finds its way to him with a man advantage, opposing goalies better be ready.
Laine finally managed to score at even strength!
After nine power play goals with the Canadiens, Laine scored his first even-strength goal on Tuesday during the game against Utah.
Not bad for your 400th NHL point?

The funniest part is that the goal is an identical copy of his typical power play goals. A blast from the left circle to beat the goalie.
Laine has thus reached the milestone of 10 goals with the Canadiens.
The Finn has become the sixth player of the Canadiens to reach this milestone this season. It took only 43 games for the Canadiens to have six 10-goal scorers.

This is a good improvement compared to previous years.
It’s also worth mentioning that this was Laine’s 400th point in the NHL. He achieved this feat in just 495 games.
Not bad!
More details to come.
