Give Patrik Laine space, and this is what happens.

The Winnipeg Jets phenom flicked home his seventh goal of the season Friday night, capitalizing on a collision between Detroit Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser and forward Andreas Athanasiou that wiped both of them out of the play.

The goal vaulted Laine into the rookie goal-scoring lead, surpassing Toronto Maple Leafs sensation Auston Matthews and New York Rangers winger Jimmy Vesey, who were idle Friday.
