Strikes on power play again Laine scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Laine has two goals and an assist over his last two outings after missing two games due to an illness. The 26-year-old winger continues to be the finisher on the Canadiens' top power-play unit -- he's netted 13 of his 16 goals with the man advantage. He's up to 27 points, 82 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 36 appearances. Few players are as efficient with their shot as Laine, and while his overall ice time has fluctuated wildly this year, his scoring talent makes him a strong fantasy option.

Postgame @ SEA: Laine | Montréal Canadiens Patrik Laine addresses the media following Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena

MARCH 13 • NHL.COM

Supplies two points in return Laine scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken.

Impact Laine got the Canadiens on the board at 7:11 of the second period, and he set up an Alex Newhook tally to tie the game at 2-2 just 4:10 later. This came after a two-game absence due to an illness for Laine, who was limited to 10:08 of ice time in this contest. The winger ended a four-game goal drought and now has 15 tallies, 26 points (16 on the power play), 80 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 35 appearances. His recent usage looks like head coach Martin St. Louis considers Laine a power-play specialist, and while the winger is productive for now, his offense could turn volatile if he doesn't get an uptick in playing time.

Back in action Laine (illness) will suit up Wednesday versus the Kraken.

Impact Laine missed two games due to the illness, but he'll slot back in for Joel Armia (upper body) in Wednesday's contest. Prior to his absence, Laine had gone two outings without a point and four games without a goal. He should be expected to see some power-play time, but his ice time prior to the illness was trending down.

Won't play Saturday Laine (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Flames, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

Impact Laine missed Friday's practice due to flu-like symptoms, and now he'll be forced to miss at least one game. The Canadiens will welcome back Michael Pezzetta (lower body) to the fold, likely in a fourth-line role, while Joel Armia could see more minutes to cover Laine's absence. Laine's next chance to play comes in the first half of a back-to-back when the Canadiens visit the Canucks on Tuesday.

Not practicing Friday Laine didn't participate in Friday's practice session due to an illness.

Impact Laine is dealing with some flu-like symptoms, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's matchup against the Flames. The 26-year-old has been productive recently, recording two goals, four assists, three blocked shots and two hits over his last six appearances. If both Laine and Michael Pezzetta (lower body) are unavailable Saturday, the Canadiens may need to call up an additional forward ahead of the game in Calgary.

Canadiens visit the Sabres after Suzuki's 2-goal game

The Montreal Canadiens visit the Buffalo Sabres after Nicholas Suzuki scored two goals in the Canadiens' 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks

FEBRUARY 28 • Associated Press

Three-point effort in win Laine scored an even-strength goal and added two power-play assists in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact After tipping home an Alexandre Carrier point shot late in the first period, Laine helped set up tallies by Nick Suzuki in the second and Lane Hutson in the third. It was Laine's first multi-point performance since Jan. 21, and after being held off the scoresheet completely in the eight games prior to the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, the 26-year-old winger has bounced back with two goals and four points in two contests since the Habs' schedule resumed.
