Patrik Laine Sidelined For Six Weeks

December 15, 2023 at 11:22 am CDT | by Josh Cybulski 10 Comments

The Columbus Blue Jackets have announced that forward Patrik Laine suffered a clavicle fracture in last night’s 6-5 overtime win against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The fracture happened in the second period when Laine fell to the ice and crashed into the boards to the left of the Maple Leafs net. He skated off the ice holding his left shoulder and exited the game.

This year has been one to forget for the 25-year-old as he has just six goals and three assists in 18 games thus far this season and is a -10. Laine hasn’t been as dynamic in Columbus as he was during his time with the Winnipeg Jets, but he has been close to a point-a-game player the last two seasons.

Despite putting up good numbers before this year, this is not the first time Laine has missed significant time. Laine was out of the lineup for nine games earlier this season after he suffered an upper-body injury. He also missed an additional three games this month due to an illness. Last season, Laine missed 24 games due to a variety of injuries as well as an additional two games when he had COVID-19.

Moreover, Laine was a healthy scratch about a month ago in what he called, “the most embarrassing thing to happen to me.”

    This dude needs to build up his muscles more to prevent constant injuries like this. Not gonna last long in the league if he’s made of glass.

      Given that the clavicle is a bone, please explain how extra muscle would stop it from fracturing.

      What surrounds and attaches to bones? While some fractures are unavoidable – and this one may have been – these injuries CAN be less frequent with fitness. Laine is constantly injured, and while correlation does not equal causation, it’s a greater than zero chance poor training is a contributing cause for these injuries. That, and miserable luck.

      Again, please explain how extra muscle would stop the clavicle from getting fractured. You know, given that there is pretty much zero muscle around anyone’s clavicle.

    Dear Patrik Laine — Take 5 for high-sticking and beat the crap out of the black cloud that is following you around.

      @Mac – That black cloud is the Columbus Blue Jackets.

      @Gbear — Did you hear what I heard, coming from the general direction of Nashville? “Wheewww! I didn’t think that thing would ever go away!” :) Just one big can of “Hynes-B-Gone”, and your troubles just melt away, then take root in another unsuspecting NHL market.

      @Mac – I’m convinced that the rules of hockey physics don’t apply to the Preds. Their roster construction has little bearing from season to season upon their results. The hockey gods decide their fate. And that Saros guy. ;)

      As for Hynes, there’s worse coaches and there’s better coaches. Maybe his previous two ventures are what he needed to get into the better coaches catagory. So far, not too bad in Minny.

      @Gbear — Maybe this is Hynes’ blind squirrel year. He’s finding acorns all over the place right now. RJ has tailed off a bit in COL, but DAL seems to love Duchene. I’d like to see where AB can get the ‘Cats to by the halfway point. At the rate things are going tonight in CAR, it might end up being a 12-11 beatdown and a coin flip to see who wins. I laughed my butt off last night with the TOR-CBJ game. Just as the GWG is scored, Bonesy yells, “And guess who scored the winning goal?” Even before it popped on Gamecenter, I yelled back, “Kent Johnson!” He torched them all night.

    @Mac – It would be easier to believe that the Jackets are deliberately blowing all these big 3rd period leads than that they actually are this incompetent. Pulled that one out of the fire at least.

    Duchene back at center in big D. Really didn’t play there much in Nashville. Canes look like a team who’s timeframe to compete for the Cup is waning.
