Jets news:
TSN: Laine looking to make case to to be number one pick. (video). Patrik Laine has impressed at every level of competition. With two goals already at the World Hockey Championship he hopes to make life difficult for Toronto Maple Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello come draft day.
IIHF: Debut for the ages for Laine. Jets fans will like this column.
Sportsnet: A look at Auston Matthews’ two-goal game at the World Championship. While the expectation is the Leafs will select him first overall there is always a chance (maybe less than 1%) that they go with Laine and then Winnipeg would take the Arizona product. And from the look of his first goal he appears to have some nice chemistry with Jets top pick from last year Kyle Connor.
