Montreal has yet to provide an update on Laine's (knee) status, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic, though he did show up at the rink Sunday.

Laine suffered a knee-on-knee hit against the Leafs on Saturday, and there is plenty of speculation regarding how long (not if) he will be sidelined. At this point, fantasy players will have to continue to wait for more information but should probably be expecting him to miss the start of the 2024-25 campaign. If Laine is in fact out long-term, Josh Anderson could move into the second-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit.
