Patrik Laine Sidelined With Another Injury
2 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine is nursing a sprained ankle and will miss the next 3-4 weeks, the team announced on Monday. He was hurt in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Islanders. Laine managed to log 22:29 in the game despite the injury but it will now take a bit of time until he's able to play again. The Finnish sniper has already missed six games this season with an upper-body injury, and the stop-start season means that Laine has been able to register only four points in eight games. With the Columbus forward group dealing with a few other injuries as well, Emil Bemstrom is set for first-line duty. He is a very intriguing fantasy option, as Bemstrom has killed it in the AHL this season and has averaged a point per game through his first two outings in the big league as well.
