Montreal Canadiens Announce Concerning Update on Patrik Laine

We have news about Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine.

It's not looking good for him, as he's not even able to practice with his teammates today (not even at low intensity) due to flu symptoms.

There's little hope of seeing him in uniform for the game against the Canucks.

That makes it four full days of activities he has missed since Friday due to these flu symptoms, and a total of 14 days missed for this reason since the beginning of 2025.

Let's not forget that he had already missed 10 days for this same reason just a few weeks ago.

See the Canadiens' official statement on the matter:

It's sad and unfortunate to see Laine this weakened, and it's bad news for him as he can't prove himself during this time.

Let's really hope it doesn't last another 10 days this time. At this rate, Laine is starting to miss quite a few games because of this.

Additionally, please note that, unlike Laine, Josh Anderson is participating in his team's practice today.

More details to follow.
