  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Enters Player Assistance program

    Laine (collarbone) entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Sunday.

    Laine has already missed 17 games with a fractured clavicle, and it now appears he'll be away from the Blue Jackets indefinitely. He'll enter the Player Assistance Program after reportedly suffering a setback in his recovery from the injury. The 25-year-old winger had six goals and nine points in 18 games prior to the injury.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Suffers setback

    Laine is heading back to Columbus after suffering a setback in his attempt to return from a collarbone injury, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports Saturday. He will miss the Blue Jackets' final three games before the All-Star break.

    Laine hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 14 due to the injury. He has six goals and nine points in 18 contests this season. When Laine's available, the 25-year-old should play in a middle-six capacity and receive a power-play role.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Could return by end of trip

    Laine (collarbone) could be ready to return by the end of Columbus' upcoming five-game road trip, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    The Blue Jackets' road trip begins Tuesday in Edmonton and ends Jan. 30 against the Blues. Once healthy, look for Laine, who's picked up six goals and nine points through 18 contests this season, to return to a middle-six role and a spot on one of Columbus' power-play units.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Back on the ice

    Laine (collarbone) has resumed skating but his return doesn't appear to be imminent, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    Laine is about five weeks into his recovery after initially being given a six-week timeline to return. While he's making progress, it sounds like he could be out for a bit longer than expected. The 25-year-old had nine points and a minus-10 rating through 18 games prior to the injury.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Shifts to IR

    Laine (fractured clavicle) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

    In a corresponding move, Brendan Gaunce was called up from AHL Cleveland on Monday. Laine was injured against Toronto on Thursday and was expected to be sidelined for six weeks, so his move to the IR list won't change his timetable for a return. He has generated six goals, nine points, 41 shots on net and 14 blocked shots over 18 outings this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Suffers fractured clavicle

    Laine will be out of action for six weeks after suffering a clavicle fracture against Toronto on Thursday.

    Based on his recovery timeline, Laine shouldn't be expected back until late January at the earliest. In his last six contests, the Finnish winger notched points in five of those outings, including one goal and one assist with the man advantage. Mathieu Olivier figures to move into the lineup with Laine on the shelf.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Sustains upper-body injury

    Laine suffered an upper-body injury during Thursday's game against Toronto and won't return to the contest.

    Laine crashed into the boards after being tripped by Toronto's William Lagesson, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site. The Blue Jackets forward was seen holding his left shoulder as he left the ice, according to Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. Laine scored Thursday before exiting the game, giving him six goals and nine points in 18 outings this year. If he can't play Saturday versus New Jersey, then Mathieu Olivier might draw back into the lineup.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Good to go

    Laine (illness) will return to the lineup Sunday against Florida, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Laine, who sat out the past three contests, has generated five goals, seven points, 36 shots on net and 13 blocked shots over 16 appearances this season. He will replace Mathieu Olivier in the lineup.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Could return Sunday

    Laine (illness) could be back in the lineup Sunday versus Florida, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

    Laine has missed the last three games. It has been a tough season for Laine, who was also a healthy scratch Nov. 19 for his ineffective play. He has five goals and seven points in 16 games this campaign.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Still out Friday

    Laine (illness) will remain on the shelf against the Blues on Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

    Laine will be out of the lineup for a third straight game due to his lingering illness. Since sitting as a healthy scratch against the Flyers on Nov. 19, Laine has rediscovered his offensive game with three goals and one assist, including two power-play points, in his last seven contests. Once cleared to play, Laine should reclaim a top-six role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Out of action Thursday

    Laine (illness) did not accompany the team to New York and will miss Thursday's tilt versus the Islanders, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

    Laine also sat out Tuesday's game at home versus LA. Laine has struggled this season, as he has only five goals and seven points in 16 games. He was a healthy scratch Nov. 19 as head coach Pascal Vincent was not pleased with Laine's game. The Blue Jackets return home Friday to take on the Blues and Laine's status for that contest is questionable at this time.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Not playing Tuesday

    Laine (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Kings, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

    Laine has five goals, seven points, 36 shots on net and 13 blocked shots in 16 appearances this season. Mathieu Olivier, who was initially projected to be scratched, will be in the lineup Tuesday instead.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Sparks comeback

    Laine scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

    Laine's goal at 14:53 of the first period set the Blue Jackets on the comeback trail after they fell in an early 2-0 hole. This was the third time in six games he's scored -- the winger has responded well to his healthy scratch Nov. 19 even though his ice time has remained limited. He saw just 12:40 of ice time Friday, the third time in his last six games he's been under 15 minutes. For the season, Laine has five goals, two helpers, 35 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 15 appearances.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Lights lamp in loss

    Laine scored his fourth goal of the season in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    He opened the scoring early in the second period with a brilliant individual effort, stealing the puck in the Columbus zone and catching Montreal on a line change as he raced down the ice for a near-breakaway on Sam Montembeault. Moments of electricity like that have been few and far between for Laine to begin the season, in part because of an upper-body injury that cost him three weeks of action. However, in five games since he was made a healthy scratch by coach Pascal Vincent, he's responded with two goals and three points. Laine's upside as a goal-scorer will keep him in a prominent lineup spot as long as he keeps making an impact, and the 25-year-old could catch fire at any time.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Healthy scratch Sunday

    Laine will be a healthy scratch Sunday against Philadelphia, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Laine logged just 12:21 of ice time in Columbus' 4-3 loss to Washington on Saturday. He has two goals, one assist, 22 shots on net and 13 blocked shots through nine appearances this season. The Blue Jackets will dress seven blueliners and 11 forwards in Sunday's contest, with Adam Boqvist back in the lineup.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Lights lamp in return

    Laine scored a goal on four shots and added two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.

    Seeing his first action since Oct. 20 after recovering from an upper-body injury, Laine was immediately put right back on the top line and top power-play unit. He responded by snapping a shot top shelf over Ville Husso's glove just moments after a Blue Jackets power play had ended in the third period. It was the 200th goal of Laine's NHL career and his 60th in 161 games for Columbus. The 25-year-old winger appears safe to plug back into fantasy lineups.

  • Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Activated from injured reserve

    The Blue Jackets activated Laine (upper body) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Laine has missed the last nine games after taking a hit from Calgary's Rasmus Andersson, which resulted in a four-game suspension for the Flames defenseman. Laine has a goal and an assist in four games. He will play on the top line with Johnny Gaudreau and Boone Jenner, as well as see time on the top power play.
