Patrik Laine Officially Arrives in Columbus
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine finally arrived in Ohio on Friday after days of dealing with immigration issues in Ottawa. The 22-year-old, who was involved in a blockbuster trade (along with forward Jack Roslovic) for center Pierre-Luc Dubois on Saturday, won't suit up for the Jackets' contest with the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday but could make his debut on Sunday. The Finnish sniper will look to provide a jump to a struggling Columbus offense at both even-strength and on the man advantage. With 140 goals (and 250 points) through his first 306 NHL games, Laine should continue to be one of the league's most dangerous scorers and can be considered a lineup-lock each night he laces up the skates.
