We have news about the Montreal Canadiens forwards Patrik Laine and Joel Armia. We are closely monitoring what's happening with our players during the 4 Nations Showdown.
And now, it was Patrik Laine's turn.
Patrik Laine's wish is granted, and he is placed on Finland's second line alongside his good friend, elite center Sebastian Aho
This is a great opportunity for Laine to bounce back.
«Lehkonen-Barkov-Rantanen
Hintz-Aho-Laine
Teravainen-Haula-Armia
Luostarainen-Lundell-Granlund
Extra: Kakko
That's quite a solid group of forwards!
We also notice that Canadiens forward Armia is being used in the top-9.
As for the power play, once again, Laine will have a major role:
Barkov
Laine-Hintz-Rantanen
Aho
PP2
Lindell
Granlund-Lehkonen-Teravainen
Lundell
Yes, they do indeed have five forwards on their first power play unit.
We are eager to see if the dynamic duo of Laine and Aho can pick up where they left off in 2016!
«This is somewhat of a reunion for Laine and Aho, as the two players formed an explosive duo during the 2016 World Junior Hockey Championship, which ended with a gold medal for Finland.»
