This is obviously a big step in his return-to-play process.
Check out the footage:

Patrik Laine back on the ice today! It's definitely encouraging for Canadiens fans. It'll add even more excitement to that of Caufield and Hutson at the Bell Centre. I just hope he'll truly be at 100% when he returns.

A video that has just been posted, bringing us great joy.
At 26 years old, Patrik Laine recorded 9 points in 18 games last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets, and he has accumulated 388 points (204 goals) in 480 career games in the NHL.
It looks like we can start hoping to see him back in uniform in around 3-4 weeks. We're really excited!
He appears to be ahead of schedule in his return-to-play process.
More details to follow.
As a reminder, the Canadiens will be in action tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the game will be broadcast on TVA Sports and TVA.
Martin St. Louis's squad will try to get back on track to possibly re-enter the «mix» in anticipation of Laine's expected return.
