Translation: Joe Veleno is really freakin’ good at hockey.

Meanwhile, over in the AHL...

Winnipeg fan wins $1 million after Patrik Laine scores five goals in a game | CBS Sports
Thanks to the “Score & Win” game held by Canadian supermarket chain Sobeys/Safeway, the five-goal game won Winnipeg’s Christopher Haley one million dollars. According to the rules of the contest, a $1 million prize is awarded to a selected fan if a single Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton or Winnipeg player scores five goals in a contest.
The one million dollar prize will be awarded over the course of 20 years, with the fan receiving $50,000 annually during that time. Not a bad deal.
Patrik Laine’s five goal game means that Johan Franzen is no longer the last NHL player to accomplish that feat.
