Insider provides worrying update on the injuries suffered by Patrik Laine and David Reinbacher
RDS journalist Patrick Friolet has revealed new information regarding the injuries suffered by Patrik Laine and David Reinbacher.
According to Friolet, both Laine and Reinbacher left the Bell Centre on crutches and wearing a hinged knee brace (on the left knee).
The journalist also announced that we should have an answer fairly quickly, as both players will be evaluated in the next few hours.
Laine and Reinbacher seem to be in very similar situations, and rest assured we will keep you informed immediately as soon as the news breaks.
We expect an official update soon on Patrik Laine and David Reinbacher
As Dr. Harjas Grewal mentioned, Patrick Friolet's information could indicate different types of knee injuries:
It could range from an ACL tear to a simple bone bruise, or even a meniscus tear.
According to the latest information, the best-case scenario (under the circumstances for Patrik Laine) seems to be a meniscus tear.
This type of injury would require anywhere from 1 to 4 months for a full recovery, depending on the procedure chosen to repair it.
If the doctors decide to trim it, Laine could return fairly quickly, but if they opt for full repair, we're looking at an absence closer to four months.
In short, it's a situation to monitor.
Unfortunately, if it turns out to be an ACL tear, Patrik Laine's season would be over before it even began.
More details will follow, but expect a quick answer, as these types of injuries are typically «easy» to diagnose and confirm.
