Officially lands on IR Laine (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Laine underwent core muscle surgery in late October that's expected to sideline him for 3-4 months, so his move to injured reserve is simply procedural. He's unlikely to be in the mix to return to action until at least late January or sometime in February.

Patrik Laine out 3-4 months | Montréal Canadiens The 27-year-old underwent surgery for a core muscle injury

OCTOBER 25 • NHL.COM

Out 3-4 months Laine underwent core muscle surgery Saturday and will be out of action for 3-4 months.

Impact Laine had only one assist in five games before he left the lineup with the injury. It's a big blow to the Montreal power play as Laine had 15 goals with the man advantage last season. Look for Laine to return near the end of January at the earliest.

Seeking second opinion Laine will get a second opinion regarding his lower-body injury, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Wednesday.

Impact Laine is still considered day-to-day, but the fact that he isn't ready to play against the Flames on Wednesday likely also rules him out versus the Oilers on Thursday. The 27-year-old winger is still looking for his first goal of the season after being held off the scoresheet in his opening five tilts -- though he does at least have one assist to show for it. At this point, Laine could struggle to reach the 20-goal threshold, a mark he's reached in three of the last four campaigns.

Out of action Saturday Laine (lower-body) will not play at home versus the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact It has not been a good start to the season for Laine as he has only one assist and six shots on goal in the first five games. He was demoted to the second power-play unit and was seeing fourth-line ice time before the injury. The Canadiens recalled Owen Beck from AHL Laval to take Laine's spot in the lineup in a corresponding move.

Notches first assist Laine logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Laine set up Ivan Demidov for the game-tying goal late in the third period. The 27-year-old Laine has once again featured as a power-play specialist early in 2025-26, but unlike last year, the puck isn't going in for him yet. He has one helper, six shots on net and a minus-2 rating through four contests. He's also on the fourth line at even strength, though he'll occasionally get shifts higher in the lineup when the Canadiens need a goal.
