Laine's struggles began in Dec. 2023 when he fractured his clavicle and was forced to miss most of the 2023-24 season. Shortly after that, he entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assitance Program and he didn't play again during the remainder of the season.

The Montreal Canadiens had a relatively smooth sailing first half of the season injury wise, but they've been rocked by a couple of injuries which have upset the team's balance.

Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine's fiancee, Jordan, shared an amusing and embarrassing moment involving their dog, Boogie, during a family skate event at the Bell Centre around Christmas time.

Montreal Canadiens' Nick Suzuki and Patrik Laine shared their thoughts about teammate Kaiden Guhle's latest injury.

The Canadiens will have cap space, and there's a player who has recently shown interest in joining Montreal via free agency.

The Wild are also missing crucial players in Kirill Kaprizov and Jonas Brodin. The former has played at a Hart Trophy level this season while the latter is one of the best defenders in the sport and would be a top candidate to try and slow Laine down.

Yesterday at the Bell Centre, the focus was put on mental health and Montreal Canadiens' sniper Patrik Laine appeared on Podcast Spitting Chicklets.

Laine has been the perfect addition for the Canadiens. While his defensive game can be improved, he is being paid to score goals, and he is doing that, especially on the power play. On the season, Laine has 17 points (12 goals and five assists) in 19 games. Ten of those goals have come on the power play, improving the Canadiens’ power play.

The Montreal Canadiens may be without one of their top defensemen after Kaiden Guhle suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury in Tuesday’s 4–1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.
