Patrik Laine's fiancee Jordan Leigh expresses elation in 2 words after Habs forward scores 3rd goal [via IG/@jordanleigh.fit]
Habs forward Patrik Laine dropped a masterclass on Tuesday night as he scored a hat trick to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a dominant 6-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. His fiancée, Jordan Leigh, was present at Bell Center and cheered for him along with thousands of fans in the arena.
The game started in Montreal's favor just 19 seconds in, as Joel Armia capitalized on a lucky bounce off an official’s skate to beat Buffalo goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. A few minutes later, Laine appeared to double the lead, but his shot, which seemed to go inside the post, was ruled no goal after a video review.
Laine eventually found the back of the net at 6:26 of the first period, converting a cross-slot feed from Nick Suzuki. This goal made him the second player in Canadiens history to score his first four goals for the team on the power play, joining Mark Recchi.
