Laine scored three power-play goals and had five shots on net in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Sabres. All three of Laine's goals were one-timers from the left faceoff circle. Since coming off the injured list earlier this month, the 26-year-old forward has six tallies (all on the power play) over seven outings. The Canadiens are heavily dependent on the top line for scoring, so having a healthy Laine has been a boost for the club.

Laine scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over Anaheim. The 26-year-old didn't make his season debut until Dec. 3 due to a knee injury, but he's been fantastic since recovering, recording three goals and four total points in his first four contests. He's scored his three goals with the man advantage, and Laine should continue to find plenty of opportunities to produce as a member of the top six.

Laine scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Predators. Laine sustained a knee injury in the preseason and didn't make his season debut until Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders, but he's made his presence felt. He's now recorded power-play goals in his first two contests, and he should continue to see plenty of opportunities to produce as a top-six forward and member of the first power-play unit. This is Laine's first year with the Canadiens after spending the previous three seasons with the Blue Jackets.

Laine scored a power-play goal, fired two shots on net, blocked a shot and recorded two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Islanders. Laine made his season debut after missing the first 24 games due to a knee injury. He gave the offensively challenged Canadiens a lift when he sniped a shot from the faceoff circle past Ilya Sorokin. Laine joined the second line and was put on the first power-play unit. He finished with 17:27 TOI.

Laine will make his 2024-25 season debut Tuesday against the Islanders. Laine will slot in on a line with Kirby Dach and Juraj Slafkovsky. It may take some time for Laine to get readjusted to the speed of the NHL -- in addition to not playing yet this season, Laine suited up for just 18 regular-season games in 2023-24. The right-shot winger should see top-six minutes along with power-play time against the Islanders.
