Winnipeg Jets forward Patrik Laine left the game favouring his wrist after getting into a shoving match with Calgary Flames captain Mark Giordano.

Well. Jets are done. Scheifele and Laine out.

[ManOfRod]

I like how Laine made sure Gio was gonna be okay and Gio looked like he wasn’t gonna make a big deal out of it, then cross checks him. I feel bad for the Jets, losing two of their best players.

Whatever Winnipeg did to piss off the hockey gods this year it must have been something really bad ...

[rook]

damn, I love to see sportsmanship like Laine immediately apologizing for Gio skating into him. mature response from the flames' captain :/

[godspeedhounds]

It looks like Laine injured his wrist when he went in for the hit. Damn. Props to him for checking up on Gio.

Gio didn't make contact with his left hand must have been when he hit the boards

Waking up Giordano, step-by-step:

0:07 Looking away so unsuspectingly
0:08 Realizes he's about to hit a wall
0:09 Big Mario 64 OOF
0:10 Looking for someone to blame it on
0:12 Trying to win back his long-lost honour

He's screwed..

[willmcgee]

Calgary’s new strategy: injure the Jet’s ENTIRE team, win by default.

[savupatonki]

Laine hurt his hand in the collision to the boards, not because ratiordano cross-checked him

[beno]

Just when u thought it couldn’t get any worse

[MmmM-blih]

Reminds me of Auston Matthews' injury from last season.

[mattn]

It almost looks like 0:08 Laine loses his balance a bit and braces himself with his left wrist against where the boards meet the glass.. later gets his left hand checked out 0:52

[LoganShanny]

I see the Flames are using the '75 Flyers, '11 Bruins, '19 Blues strategy of injuring your opponents to win

[terrymcallister]

Shoving match or getting crosschecked in the wrist? Gio your a snake

[LD-rsst]

Laine being nice checking if he's ok but Gio being rude and cross checks Laine. :(

[jimbuffet]

Too bad for the Jets - they are the only Canadian team I will cheer for aside from Calgary. Hopefully it's still a good series. Go Flames!

[bkuygpv]

Mark skated straight to laines elbow and gets mad lol

[ericlemire]

Sam Bennett is the one who hurt his wrist.. Gio hit him on the upper arm. Laine wasn’t apologizing for the elbow to the head he was scared of being hit again on his injured wrist from Bennett.

[DarkDays]

Damn son, if calgary's plan was to injure the jets, mission accomplished.

[deathatl]

Well the flames got what they wanted man
