In the past few minutes, the Montreal Canadiens have indeed issued an official statement to announce a nice little piece of news involving Patrik Laine.
Speaking of Patrik Laine, let's first recall that in recent days, we learned that the Canadiens forward will have to miss about three months of action due to a serious injury.
He suffered a sports hernia and underwent surgery specifically for that reason.
