The Montreal Canadiens made headlines this summer by trading for forward Patrik Laine, and fans have now caught a glimpse of him in the iconic Canadiens jersey for the first time.

Patrik Laine's turbulent summer

Patrik Laine's offseason has been far from smooth. Initially, he entered the NHL's Player Assistance Program, followed by a trade request that ultimately led him from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Montreal Canadiens. This major change was complicated by the tragic passing of his former teammate and close friend, Johnny Gaudreau, with whom Laine had previously worked on mental health initiatives in Columbus.
Despite these challenges, Laine took to Instagram to share a heartfelt goodbye to Gaudreau, reflecting the deep bond they shared. His message was brief yet powerful, encapsulating the emotional toll the past few months have had on him.

Amidst this period of emotional hardship, Laine found a brief moment of solace upon his arrival in Montreal. Today, a new video surfaced on X, posted by the Montreal Canadiens, showcasing Laine donning his #92 Canadiens jersey for the very first time.
The video captures Laine as he slides on the jersey, takes a selfie with the Canadiens' locker room logo in the background, and smiles, visibly enjoying his new environment. This marks a significant moment for Laine, who now looks forward to a fresh start with the Canadiens.
The Montreal Canadiens are banking on a comeback season for Patrik Laine. Once a 40-goal, 70-point player, Laine has struggled in recent years. However, with this new chapter in Montreal, both the player and the team are optimistic about a return to form that could help propel the Canadiens back into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
