Laine returned to the ice on Wednesday but head coach Paul Maurice still has him as doubtful to go Thursday in Ottawa. With Laine out on Tuesday, Kyle Connor was back with Mark Scheifele and Andrew Copp was elevated to the second line.
Laine received treatment on Tuesday morning but head coach Paul Maurice says he's still not ready to play tonight. With Laine out, Andrew Copp moved into the top-6 in the third period of Monday's loss and the Jets are expected to stick with that configuration tonight in Ottawa.
Laine was banged up in Sunday's practice and will not be available tonight vs. the Maple Leafs. This is a tough blow for Laine, who had a red-hot start to the season, scoring two goals with one assist in the season opener. With Laine out, Jansen Harkins will make his season debut.
Laine missed Saturday's game in Edmonton with a lower-body issue but is expected to play tonight vs. the Sabres. Line, who will skate with Cody Eakin and Nikolaj Ehlers, has 11 goals and five assists (16 points) in his last 18 games.
Laine was hurt on his first shift of Thursday’s game vs. the Capitals and will not play tonight in Edmonton. With Laine out, Mason Appleton will move into the top-6 and Jack Roslovic will skate on the top power-play unit. The Jets have labelled Laine as day-to-day.
Laine suffered a lower-body injury in practice on Monday and will come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Oddly enough, Luca Sbisa, who he got tangled up with, will take his spot in the lineup as a No.7 defenseman.
Laine was tangled up with Luca Sbisa in Monday's practice and could miss Tuesday's game in Anaheim. This would put some strain on the Jets' forward group, who will also be without Adam Lowry, who is serving a two-game suspension.
Laine is coming off of a forgettable season but gets a two-year bridge deal close to $7.0M AAV. Laine’s SH% unsurprisingly fell off of a cliff last year after shooting 18 percent in his first two seasons. Even in a “down year,” Laine still scored 30 goals, which showcases how good he is. Look for his SH% to bounce-back a little bit, making Laine a 40-goal threat again in year-4.
Laine missed Sunday’s contest with an illness, but will be back in New Jersey. Laine has exceeded expectations during his rookie campaign, scoring 34 goals with 27 assists (61 points) in 67 games.
Laine has practiced the past three days and could return tonight after sitting out on Monday. Head coach Paul Maurice called Laine an “option” for tonight, so monitor his status leading up to game-time.
Laine has missed the last seven games with a concussion, but took part in Sunday’s practice and is nearing a return. Head coach Paul Maurice said that Laine won’t play on Monday but could be a possibility for Tuesday’s game vs. San Jose. The Jets have went 3-3-1 while averaging 3.43 goals per game without Laine.
Laine will miss his sixth consecutive game on Wednesday, but he skated this morning for the first time since suffering a concussion on January 7th. Head coach Paul Maurice said Laine remains without a timetable for his return, but monitor his status heading into Saturday’s game vs. the Blues.
