Patrik Laine, recently acquired by the Montreal Canadiens, made a fashionable entrance at the Bell Centre, donning a colorful outfit that sparked mixed reactions from fans. Traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets, Laine is eager to find chemistry with his new teammates and participated in an informal skate shortly after his arrival. Having previously worn No. 29, Laine will now wear No. 92 due to the retirement of the former number in honor of Hall of Famer Ken Dryden. Laine's past struggles with injuries and mental health have led him to seek a fresh start in Montreal, where he hopes to regain his scoring prowess. The Canadiens are optimistic about Laine's potential contributions, especially as he is expected to play on the second line. Fans are excited about his debut, which is anticipated to coincide with the start of the season on October 9 against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
