Today, the Canadian trained in Toronto since he faces the Maple Leafs this evening. So that means that we mainly monitored what was happening on the ice there.
We also note that the formation will not change for tonight’s match.
However, something important still happened in Brossard this morning: Patrik Laine skated (solo) on the ice this morning. It was an Internet user who captured the video.
Obviously, we agree that there is a long way to go between a solo session on the ice and a return to play. That said, when we know that he is recovering from a major knee injury, the fact To see him back on the ice barely a month later is an excellent sign for his state of health.
We feel that he is getting better, and that is the most important thing.
We were also able to see other images circulating, and in these, we see him having a little fun with the puck.
While the Canadian is having a difficult season, seeing Laine approach calmly of a return is a positive sign. He won’t change the team at all on his own when he returns, but we agree that it will be an obvious source of motivation for the rest of the group.
We’ll have to see if Laine will start training with the rest of the group again soon, but just seeing him back on the ice is positive right now.
Remember that we expect to see Laine back in uniform somewhere around the beginning of 2025. Is he ahead of schedule on his rehabilitation plan? The answer within a few weeks.
Prolongation
When Laine returns, expect him to have a lot of rust to shake off. After all, he’s missed noticeably as much (if not more) time as Kirby Dach, who’s looking pretty rusty right now.
But his return could give gas to his teammates. And that should not be underestimated.
