Patrik Laine to be sidelined tonight – Canada Boosts

Patrik Laine and Johnny Gaudreau had been benched late within the third interval. Not solely did the group lose 3-2, however Gaudreau and Laine are the group’s two highest-paid forwards.

Immediately, Vincent took his sanctions a step additional, opting to depart Patrik Laine out of tonight’s sport towards the Flyers.

And let’s simply say the timing is horrible…

Two years in the past at this time, Laine’s father misplaced his life, and on his Instagram story earlier at this time, the Finn was eager to remind folks that he’s nonetheless considering of him.

Little question he would have preferred to play in his father’s honor, however Vincent apparently had different plans.

As indicated in Jeff Svoboda’s tweet above, Columbus will play with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen. The match kicks off at 17:30.

The participant who will probably be wholesome scratch for the primary time in his profession has simply two objectives and one help in 9 video games to this point this season. The player himself is obviously not happy with the decision.

But he drew reward from his head coach at first of the season. In an interview with BPM Sports in early October, Pascal Vincent stated he was very impressed with Laine’s play.

I think about he’s modified his tune since then. Let’s see if a sport within the stands will educate his striker a lesson.

Laine is paid $8.7 million yearly till the top of the 2025-2026 season.
