Practically at the same time as Patrik Laine, young defenseman David Reinbacher also suffered a serious injury.
Unlike his Finnish teammate, however, unfortunately, we don’t expect to see him back in uniform anytime soon.

«While recovering from his injury, David Reinbacher is attending the Canadiens’ coaching staff meetings in the morning.»
