Patrik Laine Unavailable Against Canucks
15 seconds agoMontreal Canadiens winger Patrik Laine (illness) will not play in Tuesday's matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. He is battling an illness and will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest. After an impressive start in Montreal, Laine has struggled to make an impact in recent weeks. He has 14 goals and 24 points in 34 games for the season. Joel Armia stepped into Laine's spot on the second line Saturday against the Calgary Flames. He has been held off the score sheet nine times in his past 10 appearances, making Armia an unreliable fantasy option. The 31-year-old has notched 25 points (11 goals, 14 assists) in 63 games across this season.
