Barring divine intervention, Laich is expected to sit out Tuesday night’s crucial Southeastern Division game against the Florida Panthers with what is believed to be a sprained left knee.
Not a good sign for Laich. Before getting hurt he scored 10 goals and 28 points. Expect Matthieu Perreault to take over on the second line.
Laich moves back to center after playing defense for a game. The versatile skater scored two goals and nine points through 15 games this year, playing every role imaginable.
