Patrik Laine - Page 5 - NHL News & Rumors

Back on ice Laine (collarbone) has resumed skating but his return doesn't appear to be imminent, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Impact Laine is about five weeks into his recovery after initially being given a six-week timeline to return. While he's making progress, it sounds like he could be out for a bit longer than expected. The 25-year-old had nine points and a minus-10 rating through 18 games prior to the injury.

Shifts to IR Laine (fractured clavicle) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact In a corresponding move, Brendan Gaunce was called up from AHL Cleveland on Monday. Laine was injured against Toronto on Dec. 14 and was expected to be sidelined for six weeks, so his move to the IR list won't change his timetable for a return. He has generated six goals, nine points, 41 shots on net and 14 blocked shots over 18 outings this season.

Suffers fractured clavicle Laine will be out of action for six weeks after suffering a clavicle fracture against Toronto on Thursday. As a result, the team placed him on injured reserve Friday.

Impact Based on his recovery timeline, Laine shouldn't be expected back until late January at the earliest. In his last six contests, the Finnish winger notched points in five of those outings, including one goal and one assist with the man advantage. Mathieu Olivier figures to move into the lineup with Laine on the shelf and could even take his place on the second power-play unit.

Sustains upper-body injury Laine suffered an upper-body injury during Thursday's game against Toronto and won't return to the contest.

Impact Laine crashed into the boards after being tripped by Toronto's William Lagesson, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site, and the Blue Jackets forward was seen holding his left shoulder as he left the ice, according to Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. Laine scored Thursday before exiting the game, giving him six goals and nine points in 18 outings this year. If he can't play Saturday versus New Jersey, then Mathieu Olivier might draw back into the lineup.

Good to go Laine (illness) will return to the lineup Sunday against Florida, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Laine, who sat out the past three contests, has generated five goals, seven points, 36 shots on net and 13 blocked shots over 16 appearances this season. He will replace Mathieu Olivier in the lineup.

Could return Sunday Laine (illness) could be back in the lineup Sunday versus Florida, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Impact Laine has missed the last three games. It has been a tough season for Laine, who was also a healthy scratch Nov. 19 for his ineffective play. He has five goals and seven points in 16 games this season.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Friday Laine (illness) will remain on the shelf against the Blues on Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Laine will be out of the lineup for his third straight matchup due to his lingering illness. Since sitting as a healthy scratch against the Flyers on Nov. 19, Laine has rediscovered his offensive game with three goals and one assist, including two power-play points, in his last seven contests. Once cleared to play, Laine should reclaim a top-six role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of action Thursday Laine (illness) did not accompany the team to New York and will miss Thursday's tilt versus the Islanders, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Impact Laine also sat out Tuesday's game at home versus LA. Laine has struggled this season, as he has only five goals and seven points in 16 games. He was a healthy scratch Nov. 19 as head coach Pascal Vincent was not pleased with his game. The Blue Jackets return home Friday to take on the Blues and Laine's status is questionable at this time.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Tuesday Laine (illness) won't play Tuesday against Los Angeles, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Laine has five goals, seven points, 36 shots on net and 13 blocked shots in 16 appearances this season. Mathieu Olivier, who was initially projected to be scratched, will be in the lineup Tuesday instead.

Sparks comeback Laine scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Laine's goal at 14:53 of the first period set the Blue Jackets on the comeback trail after they fell in an early 2-0 hole. This was the third time in six games he's scored -- the winger has responded well to his healthy scratch Nov. 19 even though his ice time has remained limited. He saw just 12:40 of ice time Friday, the third time in his last six games he's been under 15 minutes. For the season, Laine has five goals, two helpers, 35 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 15 appearances.

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lights lamp in loss Laine scored his fourth goal of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact He opened the scoring early in the second period with a brilliant individual effort, stealing the puck in the Columbus zone and catching Montreal on a line change as he raced down the ice for a near-breakaway on Sam Montembeault. Moments of electricity like that have been few and far between for Laine to begin the season, in part because of an upper-body injury that cost him three weeks of action. In five games since he was made a healthy scratch by coach Pascal Vincent however, he's responded with two goals and three points. Laine's upside as a goal-scorer will keep him in a prominent lineup spot as long as he keeps making an impact, and the 25-year-old could catch fire at any time.

Healthy scratch Sunday Laine will be a healthy scratch Sunday against Philadelphia, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Lights lamp in return Laine scored a goal on four shots and added two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Seeing his first action since Oct. 20 after recovering from an upper-body injury, Laine was immediately put right back on the top line and top power-play unit and responded by snapping a shot top shelf over Ville Husso's glove just moments after a Blue Jackets power play had ended in the third period. It was the 200th goal of Laine's NHL career and his 60th in 161 games for Columbus, and the 25-year-old appears safe to plug back into fantasy lineups.
