The Jets will likely not have Patrik Laine for tomorrow’s game against the Senators as they kick off a seven game homestand. Coach Paul Maurice was asked about Laine’s status today during his media availability and the Jets bench boss said Laine didn’t skate today and he doesn’t have him as a player tomorrow.

This would be the fourth game of the season that the talented Finnish sniper will have missed with an upper-body injury.

Adds if he comes in tomorrow and he is ripping pucks he could be in the lineup. Also added that Laine was tested today.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
