Per NHL reporter and analyst Steven Kouleas, he announced that insiders confirmed the worst for Patrik Laine as he will be out of commission with a knee injury until at-least the new year.

When the Montreal Canadiens matched up against one of their biggest rivals in the Toronto Maple Leafs, new Habs star Laine suffered a devastating knee-on-knee hit from Cedric Pare which forced him to leave the game. Laine spent several minutes being monitored by team doctors on the ice but ultimately was helped off and did not return to the game.

It was reported just moments ago on SiriusXMNHL that Laine's injury is worse than fans thought, as he will be forced to sit out and rehab until 2025.

Fans have taken to social media to express their sadness and disbelief that Laine will be out after not even getting chance to showcase his drive and talent for the Canadiens in the regular season. They have even gone to lengths to express that Cédric Paré of the Leafs intended to hurt him.

Honestly, this is absolutely disgusting from the Leafs. The entire intention here was to hurt Patrik Laine. This is not a hockey play.

Head Coach Martin St. Louis on Patrik Laine being injured

«I think what makes it a little bit harder with what happened during the game is we felt we were doing the No. 1 job we had to do with Patty, which was to make him excited to come to the rink. And he was,» St. Louis said after practice. «And it's not just my job, it's the group. And what I'm really proud about the group is - obviously, there's a show called the Rebuild - when you're rebuilding, it's like building a house. The house can look really nice, but is it a home? It takes more to make it a home. And I feel like Patty coming in like that makes me feel that we're building a home, not just a house. So I think it stings a little more because I feel he was excited to come to the rink.»
