How is the rehabilitation of Patrik Laine, who has suffered from a knee injury since September 28? As time goes by, the Finn feels more and more comfortable on the ice, having skated for the third time in five days.
According to Renaud Lavoie, Laine skated last Thursday and, according to an Internet user, the number 92 was seen on the ice on Saturday, in addition to showing up today on the ice rink at the CN Sports Complex. This time, the RDS site also shared this session, where he tested his knee.
Here’s number 92, looking dashing, on the icy surface of the Montreal Canadiens training complex:
Casually, the big guy from the Habs seemed comfortable overall during this little session. He made sudden turns without seeming to suffer too much, which is still excellent news in the circumstances. However, we should not panic, since there is no question of being ahead in our rehabilitation process.
Laine also shot a few pucks toward the net, warming up his joints.
Let us repeat again that he is not close to an imminent return, he who must return to action between the end of November and the end of December. His process is moving in the right direction, which will greatly help his group when it returns to action.
Laine’s next step will be to rejoin the group during training, but he will definitely don a dark blue jersey, which does not allow a player to receive contact.
Isn’t that a bit of positive during a very disastrous calendar, despite Monday afternoon’s victory? With the gray clouds above the blue-white-red, a little blue goes a long way!
