Doctor reveals the worst case scenario for Patrik Laine: he may have a disastrous knee injury
While Montreal Canadiens fans are already eager to see forward Patrik Laine back in uniform, the wait could be a long one.
TVA Sports journalist Nicolas Cloutier did a fantastic job of sharing the analysis of Dr. Harjas Grewal, who suggests that the most likely scenario for Laine is a medial collateral ligament injury in his knee.
If confirmed, this would mean a long absence and significant rehabilitation for Laine.
Dr. Harjas Grewal anticipates a lengthy absence for Patrik Laine
Here's an excerpt from his article:
- From an article by Nicolas Cloutier
He mentions a nearly 100% probability concerning the medial collateral ligament (MCL), but he also adds that there's about a 50% chance that the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) could also be affected.
This would be literally the worst-case scenario, but it wouldn't be entirely surprising based on the circulating footage (the collision images).
We would have preferred to share better news with you, but for now, this is what's being reported.
We highly recommend reading Nicolas Cloutier's full article on TVA Sports.
That said, we are still awaiting official news from the Canadiens.
