In the last few seconds, the Montreal Canadiens made an announcement involving Patrik Laine.
Unsurprisingly, the Habs' new acquisition must change his jersey number, as his traditional #29 is retired in the rafters of the Bell Centre thanks to a certain Ken Dryden.
Patrik Laine will wear number 92 with the Montreal Canadiens
Laine has decided to simply reverse the numbers, and he will officially wear #92 with the Montreal Canadiens.
So, for those who want to order an official Laine jersey, you have your final answer:
I have a feeling we will see many number 92 jerseys at the Bell Centre this season.
Let's not forget that the 6-foot-5 Finnish forward was acquired yesterday afternoon by Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens, along with a second-round draft pick, in exchange for defenseman Jordan Harris.
It's a big trade between Hughes and the Columbus Blue Jackets, and a deal that seems to really excite Habs fans. (with good reason)
Number 92 is likely to dazzle us over the coming months!
Welcome officially to Montreal, Patrik Laine!
