Patrik Laine leaves game for Jets

Winnipeg Jets rookie forward Patrik Laine left the game Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres after an open-ice hit by Buffalo defenseman Jake McCabe.

Laine was skating in the neutral zone when he was hit high by McCabe with 14:12 remaining in the third period and the score tied 3-3. Laine remained on the ice before he was assisted by trainers to the locker room.

McCabe was not assessed a penalty on the play.

Laine, the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, had an assist in the first period. He has 37 points (21 goals, 16 assists) in 42 games.
