Patrik Laine's impressive performance since returning from injury is expected to continue against his former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets. Laine's offensive prowess has been a key factor in the Montreal Canadiens' success this season.

Patrik Laine has been a beast since returning from injury, and he'll continue that hot streak tonight against Columbus. Patrik Laine has been one of the league’s best stories this season. He's been a prolific offensive player for the Montreal Canadiens, scoring eight goals over his first nine games while igniting the fanbase along the way.

He's piled up 21 shots over the last four games and generated very strong volume as a whole. Laine has attempted at least eight shots in three of the last four. Scoring goals at will should only give Laine more confidence and incentive to continue shooting the puck. Not to mention, the matchup is pretty good to
