Montreal Canadiens winger Patrik Laine is gonna be out for a solid three to four months due to some surgery he had on his core muscle. The team made the announcement on Saturday, leaving fans wondering how the team will fare without one of their key players for such a long time. Laine, who is known for his goal-scoring prowess, has had a tough start to his second season with the Canadiens, only managing to get one assist in five games before being sidelined.
In addition to Laine’s injury, the Canadiens are also dealing with defenseman Kaiden Guhle being out for up to six weeks with a lower-body injury. This double blow to the team has left them without two important players as they try to maintain their strong start to the season. With Laine out of the lineup, the Canadiens will have to rely on other players to step up and fill the void left by the Finnish star. It’s gonna be a tough road ahead for the team, but fans are hopeful that they can weather the storm and come out stronger on the other side.
Despite the setback, the Canadiens have been performing well in the early part of the season, with six wins in their first nine games. They are currently tied with the Vegas Golden Knights for the third-most points in the NHL, showing that they have what it takes to compete at the highest level. The absence of Laine will certainly be felt, but it also presents an opportunity for other players to showcase their skills and make a name for themselves in the league. The road to recovery for Laine will be long, but fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the ice and hoping that he can pick up right where he left off.
