After several days of complete radio silence, the Montreal Canadiens finally provided an update on forward Patrik Laine yesterday.
It's worth remembering that Laine did not travel with his teammates - he's not on the Western road trip and is currently sidelined with a lower-body injury.
In the past few hours, we've learned that Laine has requested a second opinion.
No, that's not a good sign at all.
That's exactly what Laine did last year after suffering his devastating knee injury...
It also means that the first diagnosis clearly didn't sit well with him.
A rumor suggests that Patrik Laine may have re-injured his knee
That would be incredibly sad and unfortunate for Laine - especially in a contract year!
If he has indeed re-injured his knee and ends up missing significant time, it would be terrible news for the rest of his career, particularly as he hopes to earn a solid new contract next summer.
On that note, let's remember that Kent Hughes is working on possible contract extensions for Patrik Laine and Mike Matheson.
A serious injury would be such a sad and unfortunate setback for Laine, but let's wait and see... Just know that this is the troubling rumor currently circulating about the Finnish forward.
"Sportsnet's Eric Engels reports that Patrik Laine is getting a second opinion on his lower-body injury, and Grant McCagg reports that, according to his information, last year, his knee injury was more than a sprain. Could the same knee be bothering him again? If so, what are the implications?"

Let's sincerely hope that's not the case for Laine - but yes, things aren't looking too good right now...
