MONTREAL – The Conseil du sport de Montréal has named Patrik Laine and his wife Jordan finalists for the Sports Personality of the Year award.

Heavy.com has a trade idea that sees the Canadiens acquiring a star forward to replace Patrik Laine who's dealing with an injury.

Forward Patrik Laine will seek a second opinion about his lower-body injury, according to RDS reporter Patrick Friolet. Laine, 27, missed the team’s last two games with the injury and is still considered to be day-to-day.

The Montreal Canadiens have announced that forward Patrik Laine will be out for the next three to four months after undergoing surgery for a core muscle injury.

Perhaps that’s why the topic was on the minds of multiple readers when this week’s call for mailbag questions went out. There were also queries on all kinds of different Olympic themes, plus Patrik Laine’s future, the slumping Tampa Bay Lightning, Sidney Crosby trade watch, the NHL’s next big prankster and much more.

Following the Montreal Canadiens’ 4-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, head coach Martin St. Louis sent a sincere comment to the players.

This week, Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Liane’s wife Jordan Leigh was featured as the cover story on Hazze Media.
