An Update Is Finally Revealed on Patrik Laine's Potential Return After Mysterious 3-Game Absence
Without further ado, forward Patrik Laine has missed the last three games for the Montreal Canadiens due to flu-like symptoms.
The latest announcement from the Habs has begun to spark some concern, as it's quite rare to see a player miss three games because of the flu.
Renaud Lavoie has updates on Patrik Laine
On this matter, TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie shared some good news this morning during his usual segment on BPM Sports radio.
«This morning, on BPM Sports with Max Lalonde and Gilbert Delorme, Renaud Lavoie said we should expect to see Laine back in action on Friday.
Laine, who has been sick for a few days, should practice with the group this week.»

This is indeed very reassuring and seems to settle the issue.
Patrik Laine: expect a return on Friday
It's worth noting that the Canadiens have performed very well in Laine's absence, as other players (like Cole Caufield and Kirby Dach) have stepped up their game significantly to fill the void.
Laine's return will come at the perfect time, and if Caufield and Dach maintain their strong play, fans can start seriously believing in the 2025 playoffs.
Laine's return will also likely mean, barring a big surprise, Michael Pezzetta will return to the press box.
Laine, 26 years old, standing 6 foot 4 and weighing 208 pounds, has tallied 10 points in 13 games this season with the Habs, including 8 goals.
It's a story to follow, but it's likely to be resolved soon.
