Patrik Laine officially back in action? The Canadiens made an important announcement today
A major development has just occurred during the Montreal Canadiens' practice in Brossard, involving Patrik Laine.
The 26-year-old forward, whose return to play is eagerly awaited, has completed the final stage of his rehabilitation before getting the green light.
He has just jumped on the ice with the rest of the team, wearing a regular jersey.
This means that he can now practice at full capacity, without restrictions, like a regular player in the lineup.
Usually, this stage announces an imminent return to play, which is excellent news for the team and the fans.
