Auston Matthews' lead in the rookie points race was fleeting.

Off a turnover and feed from Bryan Little, Patrik Laine made it goals in back-to-back nights Wednesday when he put the Winnipeg Jets up 2-0 in Florida.

It was the 21st goal and 35th point for the Jets sniper, moving him back ahead of Matthews in both departments.

Of course, the Maple leafs star will have four games in hand at the conclusion of Wednesday's action.
