Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice lists Patrik Laine as doubtful for re-match with Senators

Jets sniper Patrik Laine, who is dealing with an upper-body injury which kept him out of the last two games, was one of the players who skated today according to Kyle Bukauskas of Sportsnet although it wasn’t a long time on the ice for him.  Here is what he said about number 29:

“Laine was out there for just over 10min, took part in the 1st drill and left midway through it. Had little to no power in his shooting as he continues to deal with an upper-body injury”

In his media availability today from Ottawa Jets coach Paul Maurice said that Laine is doubtful for tomorrow’s re-match with the Senators. Added they wanted to see his movement on the ice today.  The bench boss for Winnipeg said he would leave it as possible given how Laine feels tomorrow but felt like it was unlikely he would play.
