Patrik Laine has not yet played for the Montreal Canadiens. He was traded to the team in the offseason, but the first year of his tenure has gone without an appearance so far as he dealt with a lower-body injury.

After returning to practice recently, Laine is back in the lineup tonight. The winger has rehabilitated and worked his way up to game speed and will play tonight. However, how much he plays remains to be seen.
