Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Another power-play tally
Patrik Laine had a power-play goal, six shots on net and one blocked shot in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.Laine pocketed his eighth goal, all on the power play, during the Montreal Canadiens' three-goal first period. He's been hot since Montreal activated him from the injured list nine games ago; however, the winger's unsustainable 27.2 shooting percentage suggests a correction is coming.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Nets game-winner on power play
Patrik Laine scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.Laine has scored all seven of his goals this season on the power play. His tally Friday was clutch, giving the Montreal Canadiens the lead for good at 12:02 of the third period. Laine is at eight points, 27 shots on net, six hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over eight appearances. A little more even-strength production would help from a sustainability standpoint, but fantasy managers who waited for Laine to recover from a knee injury have been reaping the rewards early and often since his return.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Powers up in win
Patrik 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 Montreal Canadiens are heavily dependent on the top line for scoring, so having a healthy Laine has been a boost for the club.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Returning to lineup
Patrik 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.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Will travel with team
Patrik Laine (knee) is set to travel with the Montreal Canadiens on their upcoming three-game road trip, which begins Wednesday in Columbus, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.It's unclear if Laine will be activated for Wednesday's matchup against his old team. The 26-year-old winger looks to be close enough to a return to be unofficially in the day-to-day range after switching from non-contact status to a full participant in Monday's practice. In any case, Laine's return will likely have a ripple effect through Montreal's lineup, as he'll command a top-six role and power-play time once cleared to play.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Practices in regular jersey
Patrik Laine (knee) practiced in a regular jersey Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.Laine resumed skating with his teammates last Wednesday, but he was in a non-contact sweater. However, he took another step in his recovery process Monday by shedding his non-contact jersey. The 26-year-old Laine has been sidelined since September, so he could require some time to get back up to speed before he returns to action for the Montreal Canadiens. He could be back in action in early December, and he'll likely be in the mix for roles in the top six and on the No. 1 power-play unit once he's deemed fully healthy.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Skating with teammates
Patrik Laine (knee) took the ice in a non-contact sweater Wednesday, making his first time skating with teammates since suffering his knee injury in September, Sportsnet reports.Laine's timeline hasn't changed, with the 26-year-old winger expected back sometime in December given his 2-3 month recovery. Still, it's a step in the right direction for the Finn, who was undoubtedly eager to put together a bounce-back 2024-25 campaign after seeing action in a mere 18 games last year. Once Laine rejoins the lineup, he should push for roles on both the first line and No. 1 power-play unit.
