Montreal Canadiens winger Patrik Laine will be sidelined for "two to three months" with a left knee sprain, the team announced on Tuesday.

The Canadiens noted the injury will not require surgery.

The Canadiens traded defenseman Jordan Harris and received a 2026 second-round pick to acquire Laine from the Columbus Blue Jackets in August.

The team will open the 2024-25 season without Laine next Wednesday at home against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
