The Montreal Canadiens are optimistic about the return of Patrik Laine, who practiced with the team for the first time since suffering a knee injury. Laine, wearing a non-contact jersey, participated in drills after skating alone earlier.
Defenseman David Savard expressed relief at Laine's presence, emphasizing the importance of team cohesion during his absence. Laine is expected to make his debut in December after being sidelined for months due to injuries and personal challenges.
The Canadiens are currently on a two-game winning streak and will face the Vegas Golden Knights next.
