In vintage form, Patrik Laine has matched the Jets/Thrashers franchise rookie record.
With yet another rocket of a one-timer, Laine picked up his 29th goal of the season, tying Ilya Kovalchuck for the most in a single season by a first-year player in franchise history.
Kovalchuck finished with 29 goals and 51 points in 65 games with the Atlanta Thrashers back during the 2001-02 season.
With the goal, Laine also knotted the game up with the Toronto Maple Leafs 1-1.
