On the airwaves of BPM Sports in the last few minutes, journalist Renaud Lavoie made a major statement involving Canadiens forward Patrik Laine.
During his usual segment, he dropped the following phrase:
If we go by that, we already have our answer as to whether Laine will be in uniform tonight against the Seattle Kraken after missing six days of activities and two games due to flu-like symptoms.
This is likely to significantly change MSL's line combinations.
The Canadiens will announce Patrik Laine's return to the lineup tonight, according to Renaud Lavoie
This will be a valuable reinforcement for Martin St-Louis' squad.
Renaud Lavoie also adds that he hopes Joshua Roy continues to be placed in a good situation despite Laine's return to the lineup.
Renaud has outright stated that tonight, it is "certain" that Patrik Laine will play.
This continues to raise questions about the real reasons for his absence in recent days, as some still believe it may have been a disguised "healthy scratch" for Laine. But in any case, it will be up to him to have a big game tonight in Seattle and put all doubts to rest.
And in your opinion, is there another reason besides flu-like symptoms that explains Laine's absence last night?
The Finnish forward has accumulated 24 points in 34 games this season, including 14 goals, but it's his defensive play and five-on-five performance that have been heavily criticized by experts. (Even Kent Hughes has mentioned it.)
A case to follow!
