Patrik Laine Will Not Play Saturday
1 year 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.
