Who knew Patrik Laine was classically trained?

The Winnipeg Jets star appeared to pull off a subtle but brilliant troll job after scoring to give his team a 4-0 lead over the Minnesota Wild in an eventual 4-1 victory in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series Friday night.

Yes, Laine could have been cleaning his stick as he skated by the Wild's bench, but it certainly looked like he was miming the playing of a violin.

If there's still any doubt, he did it again when the Jets were saluting the crowd after the final buzzer.

The 19-year-old helped orchestrate the victory Friday and is a major reason why the Jets have strung together wins in the first two games of the series.
