Massive Update on Patrik Laine's Health Emerges as His Return to Play Becomes Imminent
We have an update regarding Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine and his potential return to play.
Last night, after the game against the Utah HC, the organization confirmed that Laine has officially stayed with the team and even traveled with his teammates to Columbus.
What great news! Clearly, Laine is really close to returning to play, and it truly seems to be just a matter of days.

Even though the TVA Sports network left the door open, it still seems very unlikely that Laine will be in uniform tonight. Nonetheless, it's excellent news.
We're really excited to see Patrik Laine back in action.
This will definitely be a much-appreciated reinforcement for Martin St-Louis's squad, and it's a personnel move that could force Kent Hughes to place a player on waivers due to a roster logjam.
Laine, 26 years old, is a 6-foot-4, 208-pound forward. The 2nd overall pick by the Winnipeg Jets in 2016 has accumulated 388 points (204 goals) in 480 career games in the NHL.
A story to follow closely.
