Patrik Laine Out Six Weeks With Fractured Clavicle
12 months agoColumbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine (clavicle) is expected to miss six weeks with a fractured clavicle. Laine went hard into the boards after a collision in Thursday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs and left the game immediately. This is a big blow for the already struggling Blue Jackets, who lack the finishing touch Laine can provide. The 25-year-old had just nine points (six goals, three assists) in 18 games this season, but he had three goals and four points in his last five. With Laine out, some of the Jackets' younger players will see increased roles, including Yegor Chinakhov, Dmitri Voronkov, Kirill Marchenko, Adam Fantilli, and Kent Johnson. The team might mix things around until they find something that works, so keep an eye on the Jackets and who is scoring for them.
