Steve Kouleas (NHL Network) announces that Patrik Laine will not be back before January: a glimmer of hope
While we await an official announcement from the Montreal Canadiens, Steve Kouleas (from NHL Network) made an announcement about Patrik Laine.
He just mentioned this:
Patrik Laine will be out at least until January 2025
Here's his exact statement:
- Steve Kouleas
He seems to leave the door open for 2025.
Take it for what it's worth, but it could possibly be a small glimmer of hope that we might see him back during the season:
- HFTV
I remain very skeptical, however, even though his information is certainly worth noting.
Let's hope that the Montreal Canadiens make an official and clear announcement soon, precisely so that this speculation stops and we can have a clear verdict.
Patrik Laine, who left his team's most recent preseason game after a hard "knee-to-knee" collision with the Toronto Maple Leafs, was already present this morning in Brossard.
He attended the session and was on the players' bench to support his teammates, Patrik Laine is the real deal.
Details will follow, as we are also still awaiting news about young defenseman David Reinbacher, who also left the game against Toronto at the Bell Centre.
