Laine heroics worth $1m to shopper

-

A five-goal performanc­e by the Winnipeg Jets’ Patrik Laine on the weekend has netted a Winnipeg man a $1 million prize. Retail grocer Sobeys automatica­lly draws names of customers before NHL games involving teams in Western Canada, and that person can win $1 million if a single player on the team scores five goals. Laine did just that Saturday night against St. Louis, becoming the 57th player in National Hockey League history to score five or more goals in one game. The Sobeys twitter account posted a message that a Christophe­r Hayley of Winnipeg was the lucky winner.
