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.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Designated for LTIR
Patrik Laine (knee), as expected, was placed on long-term injured reserve by the Habs on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.Laine is not expected back until December at the earliest, so his placement on LTIR was almost a foregone conclusion. Even with his extended stint on the shelf, the 26-year-old winger could still challenge for the 50-point threshold this year, though he'll need to produce at nearly a point-per-game pace to do so. Once given the all-clear, Laine should be a lock for a top-six role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Facing extended absence
Patrik Laine is expected to be sidelined for 2-3 months with a left knee sprain but won't require surgery, the team announced Tuesday.Given how bad Laine's injury initially looked, 2-3 months certainly feels like good news for the winger. Still, it's another injury-plagued season for the 26-year-old Finn after he was limited to just 18 outings with Columbus last year. When he was healthy, Laine offered top-end offensive output with six goals and three assists, including two power-play points. Without Laine in the lineup, Josh Anderson likely has the inside track on a top-six role. Look for Laine to be placed on long-term injured reserve when the season starts.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: No official update
Montreal has yet to provide an update on Patrik 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.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Skating with new team
Patrik Laine (collarbone) hit the ice with his new teammates ahead of training camp, Luc Gelinas of RDS reports Wednesday.Laine was acquired by the Montreal Canadiens from Columbus in a mid-August trade that saw Jordan Harris headed the other way. Between his collarbone injury and time in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, the 26-year-old Laine was limited to just 18 games last season. When he was healthy, the Finn was fairly productive, registering six goals on 41 shots and three assists, including two power-play points. He figures to take on a top-six role with Montreal and should see plenty of opportunities with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Obtained in trade
Montreal acquired Patrik Laine (collarbone) and a 2026 second-round pick from Columbus on Monday in exchange for Jordan Harris.Laine generated six goals, nine points, 41 shots on net and 14 blocked shots across 18 regular-season appearances with the Blue Jackets in 2023-24. He has been cleared to return from the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program but is still recovering from a clavicle fracture he sustained against Toronto on Dec. 14. If he is good to go for the beginning of 2024-25, Laine could return to the 50-point plateau with the Montreal Canadiens while playing in the top six and seeing time on the power play.
