Jets pull Laine out of the lineup ahead of game against Ducks

Winnipeg Jets forward Patrik Laine is out for Tuesday night’s game in Anaheim against the Ducks and is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.

NHL insider Darren Dreger was first to report on Tuesday that Laine could miss tonight’s game though a final decision had yet to be made. 

However, it was announced a few hours prior to the contest in California that Laine couldn’t suit up. The star forward left practice early on Monday after taking a bump from defenseman Luca Sbisa during a drill.  

Head coach Paul Maurice however says Laine’s injury is unrelated to the bump from Sbisa.

The 21-year-old star forward has collected three goals and 13 points in 12 games this season.
