Important development involving Patrik Laine: he is at the Bell Centre with the rest of the Canadiens
A very interesting development occurred this morning at Montreal Canadiens practice, involving Patrik Laine, a few hours before the game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Although the practice was optional, the 26-year-old sniper was on the ice at the Bell Centre.
Only 13 skaters and the goalies are on the ice.

Patrik Laine is getting closer and closer to a return to play
The Finn's presence at this training session shows that his recovery progress in preparation for a return to play is going well.
He jumped on the ice with the rest of the team, which suggests that it is only a matter of time before he gets the green light.
According to information reported by David Calabretta, who covers the Canadiens' activities for the network "The Fourth Period", the date of December 3 has been put forward as a target for his return to play.
This would mean that there would be a little more than a week left before Laine officially joins the CH roster.
There is still one important step to take by next week: participating in training with a regular jersey to receive contacts again.
After that, it would only be a matter of a few days of waiting before attending Laine's first official game in a Habs uniform.
