Designated for LTIR Laine (knee), as expected, was placed on long-term injured reserve by the Habs on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Impact Laine is not expected back until December at the earliest, so his placement on LTIR was almost a foregone conclusion. Even with his extended stint on the shelf, the 26-year-old winger could still challenge for the 50-point threshold this year, though he'll need to produce at nearly a point-per-game pace to do so. Once given the all-clear, Laine should be a lock for a top-six role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Patrik Laine out two to three months | Montréal Canadiens The forward will not undergo surgery
OCTOBER 1 • NHL.COM
Facing extended absence Laine is expected to be sidelined for 2-3 months with a left knee sprain but won't require surgery, the team announced Tuesday.
Impact Given how bad Laine's injury initially looked, 2-3 months certainly feels like good news for the winger. Still, it's another injury-plagued season for the 26-year-old Finn after he was limited to just 18 outings with Columbus last year. When he was healthy, Laine offered top-end offensive output with six goals and three assists, including two power-play points. Without Laine in the lineup, Josh Anderson likely has the inside track on a top-six role. Look for Laine to be placed on long-term injured reserve when the season starts.

No official update Montreal has yet to provide an update on Laine's (knee) status, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic, though he did show up at the rink Sunday.
Impact Laine suffered a knee-on-knee hit against the Leafs on Sunday and there is plenty of speculation regarding how long (not if) he will be sidelined. At this point, fantasy players will have to continue to wait for more information but should probably be expecting him to miss the start of the 2024-25 campaign. If Laine is in fact out long-term, Josh Anderson could move into the second-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit.
