Laine on knee sprain: 'Could have been much worse'
Patrik Laine said the knee sprain that will keep him out of the Montreal Canadiens' lineup for 2-3 months “could have been much worse." The 26-year-old forward was injured on a knee-on-knee collision with Toronto Maple Leafs forward Cedric Pare at 3:49 of the first period of a 2-1 preseason loss on Saturday.
