After 16 games this season, the Canadian is 5-9-2, good for 12 points and 32nd place overall in the entire NHL.
Needless to say, head coach Martin St. Louis needs all the help it can get right now to try to turn things around.
Earlier today, we reported to you the reactions of the CEO Kent Hughes Who refuses to panic despite his team’s horrible streak and does not intend to sacrifice its future in an attempt to resolve current problems.
Fortunately, there is some light at the end of the tunnel as the star striker Patrik Lainewho has not played a single game yet this season, continues to make progress in the rehabilitation of his knee, injured during a pre-season game.
Even today, he was in Brossard at the team’s training complex and training alone. He who has now started to take shots on goal and make quick changes of direction, we can see that he is gaining more and more mobility with his knee.
It is still unknown when he will be able to return to play but everything indicates that he could potentially attempt a return to the Canadian lineup before the end of November.
If this is the case, he could potentially try to carve out a position with Team Finland in the 4 Nations Showdown which will be presented next February but for which the official alignments of each team must be revealed at the beginning of December.
See the images of his progress at the bottom.
