The Montreal Canadiens acquired forward Patrik Laine and a 2026 second-round draft pick from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday in exchange for defenseman Jordan Harris.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The trade moves Laine, 26, to a Montreal team positioning itself for a playoff push after their loss in the 2021 Stanley Cup Final was followed by three straight last-place finishes in the Atlantic Division.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Laine, a native of Finland, played in just 18 games in the 2023-24 season due to a clavicle fracture and a stint in the NHL\/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. He had six goals and three assists in his final season with Columbus.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Blue Jackets acquired him from the Winnipeg Jets early in the 2020-21 season. Laine was a rising star in his tenure in Winnipeg, his best season coming in 2017-18, when he played in all 82 games and put up a career-best 44 goals and 26 assists for a career-high 70 points.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Laine has recorded 388 points (204 goals, 184 assists) in 480 games between Winnipeg and Columbus.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Harris, 24, has played parts of three seasons with the Canadiens and put up 32 points (eight goals, 24 assists) in 131 appearances.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
