The hottest goal scorer in the NHL takes his act Off-Broadway Saturday night when Patrik Laine and the Winnipeg Jets visit the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center.Laine Adidas Alan Quine Jersey , the league’s reigning First Star of the Week, scored 18 goals in November, the most ever in a single month in franchise history. After scoring a pair in Thursday’s 6-5 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, Laine has five multiple-goal games this season and 13 goals in his last six games.His first goal Thursday was the 100th of Laine’s NHL career. He is the fourth-youngest player in league history to reach that plateau, behind Wayne Gretzky, Jimmy Carson and Brian Bellows. He reached the milestone in only 179 games.Article continues below ...“I knew it was going to come eventually,” Laine said to reporters following Thursday’s win. “When you work hard, you’re going to get it at some point. Good to get it out of the way and try to chase 200 (goals) now.”Despite Laine’s productive month, the Jets (14-8-2) had the same record in November as in October, winning seven of 12 games (7-4-1). They’ve lost three of their last five games and have not won consecutive contests since a three-game winning streak Nov. 9-14.The Jets allowed 23 goals in their last five games, never fewer than four in any one single contest in that stretch.“As far as giving up goals against, that’s something we want to improve on as a team, but more importantly we are trying to get wins every night,” Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey told The Winnipeg Sun.Led by Laine, the Jets have a tremendous core of gifted offensive players to offset the team’s defensive struggles. Four players — Blake Wheeler, Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor and Laine — average a point per game or better; and Nikolay Ehlers recorded his third career hat trick Thursday against the Blackhawks.“I feel like I’ve been playing some good hockey lately,” Ehlers said to reporters. “It’s gotten better and better. I work as hard as I can to grow as a player. And (Thursday) Adidas Dougie Hamilton Jersey , I got rewarded.”The Jets won each of their last three visits to New Jersey. Their last loss at the Prudential Center was a 2-1 shootout defeat on Oct. 30, 2014; and they won nine of the last 11 head-to-head meetings overall since the start of the 2013-14 season, including a 5-2 victory in Winnipeg on Nov. 11.This all might add up to a tough night for the Devils (9-11-4), who do have one big factor in their favor, however. The Devils are 7-1-3 on home ice this season.“We feel very comfortable playing at home,” said Devils forward Blake Coleman. “The crowd here gives us great support, there’s lots of energy in the building and we feed off that.”Coleman had an assist on Friday when the Devils lost to the Capitals 6-3 in Washington. Taylor Hall had two assists and Nico Hischier scored a goal and an assist in the loss, New Jersey’s fourth straight defeat and sixth in the last seven games (1-3-3).The Devils surrendered 19 goals in the last four games.“We need to have some urgency here,” Devils captain Andy Greene said to northjersey.com. “When there are critical points in the game, we’ve got to dig in and flip it.”Devils rookie Michael McLeod, a 2016 first-round draft pick, made his NHL debut on Friday. He centered the fourth line and played only eight shifts totaling 5 minutes, 36 seconds. McLeod did not record a point nor a shot on goal and lost five of six faceoffs.“He’s a young prospect that’s gone down and played well,” Devils coach John Hynes told reporters. “I think he’s earned an opportunity to come up here, so hopefully he can come in and make an impact.”Another Devils rookie, winger Brent Seney, was part of a big moment in Friday’s game. Late in the second period, he was hit from behind by Capitals forward Tom Wilson Adidas Julien Gauthier Jersey , knocked out of the game for a stretch before returning in the third period. Wilson received a match penalty for the check and Seney cleared concussion protocol, finishing with three shots on goal in 9:45 worth of ice time.Devils goalie Keith Kinkaid allowed four goals on 29 shots against the Capitals, with two goals scored into an empty net. It is likely Cory Schneider will get the start on the back end of consecutive games Saturday. Schneider has not won a start since December of 2017. John Tavares isn’t the only free agent going back to a familiar place.Several players are returning to their former teams and comfortable situations – from James van Riemsdyk going back to Philadelphia on the second-richest July 1 deal to Matt Cullen taking a significant pay cut to rejoin the Pittsburgh Penguins he helped win the Stanley Cup twice. It’s not quite the tug at the heartstrings that led Tavares to sign a $77 million, seven-year deal with his boyhood Toronto Maple Leafs, but familiarity was part of the bustle on the opening day of NHL free agency .”I have that comfortablity with knowing a lot about the organization having played there in the past and having a lot of familiar faces still on the staff and stuff like that,” van Riemsdyk said after signing a $35 million, five-year deal with the Flyers. ”Even just remembering to my time previously is just how bad obviously they want to win and they’re willing to put the resources into that. That passion and that commitment to that was a big thing for me.”Unsure there’d be room for him after his old team re-signed Riley Sheahan, Cullen signed a $650,000, one-year deal with the Penguins after spending a season back home in Minnesota. Tomas Plekanec was away from Montreal for only a few months, signing a bonus-laden $2.25 million, one-year deal with the Canadiens after they traded him to the rival Maple Leafs at the deadline.Plekanec had planned since the end of the season to go back to Montreal, where his family remained when he went to Toronto. He will be back at the Bell Centre on a contract that can be worth another $1.25 million in incentives. The 35-year-old will get to play his 1,000th career regular-season game in his familiar blue, white and red uniform this October.”That was my priority,” Plekanec said. ”I wanted to come back.”While Plekanec obviously felt a strong connection to Montreal after 14 seasons there, David Perron will be playing for the St. Louis Blues for the third time in his NHL career after signing for $16 million over four years. Perron spent his first six seasons with the Blues after they took him in the first round in 2007, returned as a free agent two summers ago Adidas Petr Mrazek Jersey , was taken by the Golden Knights in the expansion draft a year ago and is back again after setting career highs with 50 assists and 66 points in Las Vegas.”Obviously (the Golden Knights) made the right decision with the way that David played for them,” Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said. ”He certainly could’ve made more money on the market. He wanted to come back.”Thomas Vanek enjoyed his 48 games with the Detroit Red Wings in 2016-17 so much he wanted to sign with them last July but they didn’t have enough salary-cap space. When the opportunity presented itself this time, the 34-year-old winger zeroed in on a one-year deal and chose Detroit’s $3 million offer over a few other options.”I loved it there,” Vanek said. ”It was a good it. I really liked the whole culture of the organization and the guys were great. We tried to make it work last year. It didn’t work out, so I’m happy it did this year.”No one says hockey players can’t go home, but there has to be mutual interest. It was simple for the Penguins, who lacked something without Cullen in their second-round loss to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals. Pittsburgh had tried to reacquire the 41-year-old center at the trade deadline.It was a bit more complicated for the Flyers, who traded van Riemsdyk to Toronto in 2012 in a one-for-one deal for bruising defenseman Luke Schenn. That was under a previous regime that believed the 6-foot-3, 217-pound left winger wasn’t tough enough, but GM Ron Hextall sees a player who checks the boxes for a playoff contender with a few holes.”We felt with the fit that we needed some size,” Hextall said. ”We needed goal-scoring. We need a left winger. This one just fit all around for us and I think James felt the same way.”The personality fit was there, too, because Flyers management knew van Riemsdyk, who is 29. Coming through Philadelphia’s system as the second overall pick in 2007 helped with Hextall being willing to make his biggest free agent splash.”We know the person – people inside this organization – (and) obviously that helps,” Hextall said.Van Riemsdyk did his homework by talking with captain Claude Giroux, winger Jakub Voracek and recent Flyers players before choosing to return to his first NHL organization. He also fondly remembered the Flyers’ run to the Cup Final in 2010.”Hopefully again we get a chance to do something like that in the future,” he said.—
