Only two to three months’ absence for Patrik Laine

The forward dodged a bullet… and suffered a sprained left knee.

He won’t need surgery and should miss two to three months.

Everyone was waiting for the verdict and let’s just say it’s a relief because we were all expecting the worst in the case of the forward.

After all, everyone was worried after seeing him holding his knee like that after being dangerously hit by Cédric Paré.

This will help calm things down a bit, because even though the season hasn’t started yet, many thought it was already over if Laine had to miss the whole campaign.

Now, he’ll be able to return to action around December/January, and it won’t be too late for the Canadiens’ season.

The goal is to progress, after all… And it was going to be difficult if Laine wasn’t able to play.

More details to come…
