A few minutes later, the Habs officially confirmed that it was indeed Laine:
Let's not forget that Patrik Laine was acquired by the Canadiens in recent weeks, along with a second-round pick. In exchange, the team traded young defenseman Jordan Harris to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Laine, a talented Finnish forward, recorded eight points in 18 games last season. His acquisition promises to bolster the Canadiens' offense and thrill fans with his skills on the ice.
