We have news regarding Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine.
This is truly encouraging for fans, as TVA Sports just reported that Laine is in Finland’s plans for the Four Nations Tournament.
Patrik Laine is Quietly Preparing for His Return to Play
This means that upon his eventual return to the game, Laine will already gain a valuable experience, and we’re likely to see him representing his country.
He expressed confidence in being ready for this exciting challenge.
The Four Nations Tournament will take place in February, so all signs point to Laine being back in action by then. Finland’s GM has indeed mentioned that the new Montreal Canadiens forward is definitely in their plans, even though he has yet to play this season.
«It’s so unfortunate for him, obviously, with how last season went. It would have been great to see him play the full season in Montreal. Hopefully, he’ll be back soon. Everyone wants to see him»
– Jere Lehtinen, via the official NHL website.
It’s worth noting that rosters need to be submitted in a few weeks, in December, so a quick decision will clearly have to be made in Laine’s case.
In light of the circulating information, expect Laine to make the roster.
He could be skating alongside Aleksander Barkov, Mikko Rantanen, Sebastian Aho, and Roope Hintz, just to name a few.
Full interview on the NHL website.
The 6-foot-5 forward from the Montreal Canadiens was recently seen with a much lighter knee brace, and he’s increasingly moving around on his own, which is a very good sign.
A situation to follow in the coming weeks.
