Patrik Laine will miss a fourth straight game. The forward will not accompany the Canadian (CH) to Washington to face the Capitals on Friday.
This was indicated by the team at the end of Thursday’s morning practice, during which Laine participated in a few repetitions within the fourth line led by Jake Evans. On Wednesday, he skated alone in a tracksuit.
The Finnish striker missed CH’s last three matches because he was ill. He has 10 points, including 8 goals, in 13 games this season.
It is also Jakub Dobes who will be in front of the CH net in Washington. The Czech goaltender won his first two games in the National Hockey League (NHL), including the first by shutout against the reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers, in late December.
After the Capitals, the Canadian will face the Dallas Stars in Montreal on Saturday.
