Recaps:
-In the contest between the Florida Panthers and the Winnipeg Jets in the first NHL Global Series games in Finland, the Jets would defeat the Panthers 4-2.
Jets F Patrik Laine recorded the first NHL career hat-trick in a regular-season contest outside of North America to outduel fellow countryman, Aleksander Barkov.
Entering this contest, Laine only had three goals in 12 games. Laine scored two game-tying goals before he finished off the hat trick, the fifth of his NHL career.
Winnipeg became the 2nd team to have multiple players with 3+ points apiece in a regular-season game played overseas (both instances came in Helsinki).@NHLJets: Laine, Byfuglien, Wheeler@BuffaloSabres: Thomas Vanek, Jason Pominville (Oct. 7, 2011)#NHLGlobalSeries #NHLStats pic.twitter.com/aLw9De0oZ0

-The Montreal Canadiens would score a record of two goals in two seconds to defeat the Washington Capitals 6-4.
Montreal Canadiens rookie Jesperi Kotkaniemi would score his first two NHL career goals.
Kotkaniemi would become the youngest player in League history born outside of North America at 18 years and 118 days to score at least two goals in a game since Patrik Laine accomplished the same feat at 18 years and 183 days.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi (18 years, 118 days) became the second-youngest player in @CanadiensMTL franchise history to score his first career NHL goal, behind Mario Tremblay (18 years, 75 days) on Nov. 16, 1974. #NHLStats #WSHvsMTL pic.twitter.com/EeyWZcbpOS
