  • Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Designated for LTIR

    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

    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 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: Leaves game with injury

    Laine (knee) left Saturday's game after a dangerous knee-on-knee hit, reports TSN.ca.

    Toronto's Cedric Pare was flatfooted as Laine entered the Maple Leafs' zone, and it appeared that he stuck out his knee. Laine required assistance to get down the tunnel and was seen throwing his glove and helmet in frustration. Laine has been snakebitten with injuries most of his career and this doesn't look good.

  • Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Skating with new team

    Laine (collarbone) hit the ice with his new teammates ahead of training camp, Luc Gelinas of RDS reports Wednesday.

    Laine was acquired by the 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 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 Canadiens while playing in the top six and seeing time on the power play.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Cleared from Assistance Program

    Laine (personal) was cleared by the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    Laine entered the program in late January after missing 17 games with a fractured clavicle. Laine only played in 18 regular-season games with the Blue Jackets in 2023-24, scoring six goals and adding three assists. He has requested a trade out of Columbus and should find a new home before the start of training camp.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Enters Player Assistance program

    Laine (collarbone) entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Sunday.

    Laine has already missed 17 games with a fractured clavicle, and it now appears he'll be away from the Blue Jackets indefinitely. He'll enter the Player Assistance Program after reportedly suffering a setback in his recovery from the injury. The 25-year-old winger had six goals and nine points in 18 games prior to the injury.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Suffers setback

    Laine is heading back to Columbus after suffering a setback in his attempt to return from a collarbone injury, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports Saturday. He will miss the Blue Jackets' final three games before the All-Star break.

    Laine hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 14 due to the injury. He has six goals and nine points in 18 contests this season. When Laine's available, the 25-year-old should play in a middle-six capacity and receive a power-play role.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Could return by end of trip

    Laine (collarbone) could be ready to return by the end of Columbus' upcoming five-game road trip, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    The Blue Jackets' road trip begins Tuesday in Edmonton and ends Jan. 30 against the Blues. Once healthy, look for Laine, who's picked up six goals and nine points through 18 contests this season, to return to a middle-six role and a spot on one of Columbus' power-play units.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Back on the ice

    Laine (collarbone) has resumed skating but his return doesn't appear to be imminent, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    Laine is about five weeks into his recovery after initially being given a six-week timeline to return. While he's making progress, it sounds like he could be out for a bit longer than expected. The 25-year-old had nine points and a minus-10 rating through 18 games prior to the injury.
