What happened last night that you need to know about? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best performances. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Laine arrives: Hockey history repeated itself Wednesday night in Winnipeg, and it came with an incredible ending. Patrik Laine, the Jets top pick in June (No. 2 overall) scored his first career hat trick, including the winner in overtime, to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a thrilling come-from-behind 5-4 victory over No. 1 pick Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Jets scored five unanswered goals en route to the win. The history part: In the first NHL meeting between 2015 top picks, the Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid (No. 1) and the Buffalo Sabres Jack Eichel (No. 2) last March, the game went into overtime. Eichel had a chance to end it on a breakaway attempt, but he was stopped before McDavid scored at the other end on the next play for the 2-1 win.On Wednesday, it was Matthews who had the first quality scoring chance in OT, but Jets goaltender Michael Hutchinson made the save. The Jets quickly gained control of the puck and Laine scored on the ensuing play for the victory. Fans at the MTS Centre were chanting Laines better! late in the game. And the Calder Trophy race is on. After four games, Laine has four goals and one assist for five points and is a plus-3. Matthews registered a four-goal game in his NHL debut last week and has since added one assist for five points in three games and is a plus-2. From a personality standpoint, the two top prospects couldnt be more different. Matthews, 19, is more reserved and a bit more calm on and off the ice. Laine, 18, speaks his mind and his confidence is on full display. It wasnt a mistake when he said before the draft that he thought he should go No. 1. He truly believed it and theres good reason for that confidence: At 6-foot-5, 206 pounds and with great hands, Laine is an incredible talent. Hes best known for his shooting and pure goal-scoring ability; his dangerous one-timer tied the game on Wednesday. If both players can remain healthy (unlike a season ago when McDavid was limited to 45 games with a broken collarbone), this seasons Calder Trophy race should be mind-blowing between Laine and Matthews.Howard makes a case: Detroit Red Wings?veteran goaltender Jimmy Howard played as if he wants the No. 1 job back. He made 32 saves to lead the Wings to a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers?on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. It was his first start of the season after Petr Mrazek played the first three games for Detroit. Howard, 32, made a statement for his cause with the effort. It was a game the Rangers should have won, especially considering it was on home ice, but Howard made several timely stops on quality scoring chances to stifle New Yorks chances. If Howard continues to play like this and accepts his role as the backup, this strong goaltending tandem could pay serious dividends for the Red Wings. Last season, the Red Wings rotated Howard and Mrazek until the end of December. It was a solid tandem. Mrazek played the majority of the games in the second half of the season, but Howard played 10 of the final 11 games of the season entering the playoffs.After the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated Howard and the Red Wings in the first two games in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Mrazek won Game 3 and earned the No. 1 job back. However, he dropped the next two to end the series. He played well in the World Cup of Hockey for the Czech Republic and has started the regular season as the No. 1. Itll be interesting to see how coach Jeff Blashill handles this situation moving forward, but a strong tandem with Mrazek leading the way should be the plan. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-John-Brown-Jersey/ . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Jermaine-Gresham-Jersey/ . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Drew-Stanton-Jersey/ . Zvonareva, who won the tournament in 2009 and 10, couldnt handle her opponents big groundstrokes in only her third event back after 17 months out with a shoulder injury. Zvonareva made her comeback in January in Shenzhen and played in the Australian Open but lost her first matches at both tournaments. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Jj-Nelson-Jersey/ . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Hats/ . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Karma has a funny way of coming back around. Just ask Joey Logano.A little more than 12 months ago, Logano was eliminated from the 2015 NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup when Matt Kenseth intentionally wrecked him at Martinsville Speedway, an attack made in retribution for a prior incident between the two a few weeks earlier at Kansas Speedway.On Sunday, Kenseth was the driver who got wrecked -- pretty much by his own teammate -- opening the door for Logano to win the Can-Am 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. More importantly, the timely victory landed Logano among the four drivers who will compete for the 2016 Sprint Cup next weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.Logano and the No. 22 Team Penske Ford were often the dominant combination of the 2015 season, and he was bitterly disappointed that after Kenseth wrecked him at Martinsville, he didnt get the opportunity to compete for the crown.But thanks to the incredible events that went down late in Sundays race at Phoenix, hell get that chance next week for the second time in the three years that NASCARs Chase has been run using the current 16-driver elimination format.At Phoenix, Kenseth looked to be cruising to an uncontested victory while Logano was desperately trying to hold off Kevin Harvick for the fourth-place finish he needed to qualify for the Homestead finale on points.As Kenseth sped around to take the white flag, the yellow flew instead as Michael McDowell crashed in Turn 3. Suddenly, Kenseth had to contend with a restart.It didnt go well. Kenseth got a good jump into Turn 1, but when Alex Bowman turned down to block a charging Kyle Busch, Buschs car bumped Bowmans car. The contact unsettled Bowmans Chevrolet enough to send it sliding into Kenseths Toyota, which spun into the Turn 1 wall while Logano and Busch sped past.An additional restart held no drama for Logano, who easily held off Busch in a green-white-checkered finish.It was Loganos 17th career Cup Series race win, and his seventh in the Chase since the elimination format was introduced in 2014. That tops all drivers, and hes still just 26 years old.Man, this feels so good! Logano exclaimed in his Victory Lane television interview. Ive never felt this good about a win before. I feel like I won the Daytona 500 again. Theres so much on the line, and everybody brings their A-game when it comes to winning championships.Were racing for a championship now, he added. We did exactly what we had to do. Were going to go to Homestead and do the same thing.Team owner Roger Penske has the unique opportunity to win both the IndyCar Series championship and NASCARs top championship in the year that Team Penske is celebrating its 50th anniversarry in competition.ddddddddddddSimon Pagenaud won Penskes 14th Indy car title earlier this year, but Penske has achieved less success in stock car racing. Brad Keselowski earned Team Penskes only Cup Series title to date in 2012.Now Logano will represent the legendary team in a championship finale one more time.I guess we can say were going to Homestead, Penske remarked. Today the team really was disciplined, they executed the pit stops and Joeys restarts were classic Logano -- nobody was able to be as cool as he was to take the position.The outcome wasnt the outcome until the overtime, Penske added. I think this proves just how good he is to continually get the job done for us.Logano is convinced that he and his team led by crew chief Todd Gordon have what it takes to prevail in the final four shootout next week at Homestead. His competition includes Busch, fellow Joe Gibbs Racing driver Carl Edwards?and six-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson.In his other championship final experience in 2014, Logano finished 16th at Homestead, last among the four Chase contenders. He vows that will not happen again.We have experience now, Logano stated. Weve been together four years or so, and weve gone through some hard situations together as a team and not much has changed. They do a good job of keeping their head straight and a lot of that comes from Todd.Were peaking at the right time, which is a good sign, Logano continued. Weve had some speed the last three races. Texas was one of our best races of the year and to go to a racetrack thats very similar to that makes me excited. We know what it takes to win a championship because weve been through that situation once before. Ive been saying throughout this Chase that I hope were in that situation because we know how to handle it. Today we were in that situation and we won the race, and I cant wait to put my team in that situation again.Its hard to think of a 26-year-old as a grizzled veteran, but Logano has already been racing at the Cup level for eight full years.The kid once known as Sliced Bread seems to realize that a driver often needs to lose a championship to learn how to win one.Hell get that chance in one weeks time.Weve got momentum, he acknowledged. I remember the last time we got through to Homestead, I wasnt this excited. I was immediately nervous.This is not that feeling, he added. I have confidence this time. I know we can do it. I dont feel its a long shot like the last time, when it was the first time I was racing for a championship.This time I feel like weve been there before.
