Patrik Laine scores his first five-on-five goal with the Canadiens.

Patrik Laine is a whiz on the power play. When the puck makes its way to him with the advantage of an extra man, opposing goalies had better be ready.

Laine finally managed to score at even strength!

After scoring nine power-play goals with the Canadiens, Laine got his first even-strength goal on Tuesday during the game against Utah.

The funniest part is that the goal is an exact copy of his typical power-play goals. A blast from the left circle to beat the goalie.

The Canadiens’ number 92 has been improving at even strength over the last few games. He recorded a helper at even strength last week against the Lightning.

Thus, Laine has reached the milestone of 10 goals with the Canadiens.

The Finn has become the sixth Canadiens player to reach this milestone this season. It took the Canadiens only 43 games to have six players score 10 goals.

This is a significant improvement compared to previous years.

It’s also worth mentioning that this was Laine’s 400th point in the NHL. He achieved this feat in just 495 games.

Not bad!

Out of his 400 points in the NHL, Laine has 214 goals.

Laine continues to leave his mark in the Canadiens’ record book. He has become the fifth Canadiens player to score at least 10 goals in his first 15 games over the last 40 years.

Overtime

Laine is not just setting records with the Canadiens. With his goal in the game against Utah, he became the sixth active Finnish player to reach the 400-point milestone in the NHL.
