Patrik Laine expected to miss 4-6 months, according to reputable journalist Stu Cowan

Journalist Stu Cowan just released major information regarding the length of Patrik Laine's absence and his injury.

- Stu Cowan We are still waiting for the official confirmation, but knowing that this comes from a reliable and experienced journalist like Stu Cowan, it's trustworthy.

A 4 to 6 month absence for Patrik Laine, according to Stu Cowan If confirmed, I believe this would be good news for the Montreal Canadiens, as we would have a real chance of seeing Laine in uniform again this season.

It would also provide great motivation for the team's players to stay in the playoff race until February (until Patty Laine's return to action).

It would also be a 'game changer' for Laine's morale, and it would be much more motivating for everyone to know that he has a chance to return to play this season.

Let's remember that earlier today, Steve Kouleas (NHL Network) announced that Patrik Laine would not be back before January: He revealed that Laine would not return in 2024, but seemed to leave the door open for a return in the second half of the season.

Both pieces of information seem to corroborate each other, but again, let's wait for the official announcement directly from the Montreal Canadiens.

We will keep you updated with the developments, second by second.

Details to follow.
