According to a report from Columbus Blue Jackets insider Aaron Portzline, the Columbus Blue Jackets has been placed on injured reserve and will miss at least 3-4 weeks with an elbow sprain. This means that Laine is expected to miss the team's trip to Finland, his native country.
From Portzline:
Absolutely brutal break for Laine heading into such a critical season for both him and the Blue Jackets. More to come on this developing story.
