Patrik Laine returns to Winnipeg for the first time as a member of the Montreal Canadiens, and his former teammate Kyle Connor expresses joy at Laine's resurgence in the game. The Jets, currently fighting for the Central Division lead, face the struggling Canadiens, who sit at the bottom of the Atlantic Division.

Despite the Canadiens' poor overall performance, Laine has made a positive impact, scoring three goals in his first five games. The Jets, however, need to maintain focus as they look to secure crucial points in their playoff push.
