Patrik Laine Will Not Play Saturday
11 months agoColumbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine did not travel with the team for Saturday's road game against the Minnesota Wild after suffering an upper-body injury late in Friday's win over the Flames. The sharpshooter took an elbow to the head from Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson in the dying seconds of Friday's 3-1 win and needed to be helped off of the ice while Andersson will likely be suspended given the nature of the hit. Laine is opening the season as a center and has recorded one goal and two points across four games while adding nine shots on goal in that time. While a move back to the wing is possible, center eligibility would be a nice boon to Laine's fantasy value moving forward.
