3 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine (oblique) is set to make his first appearance since Nov. 3 on Thursday against the Predators. The Finnish sniper had a very productive start to the season before getting knocked out of the lineup with an oblique strain. He managed to rack up 10 points in nine games with 23 shots. Laine will skate with Boone Jenner and Jakub Voracek on the top line, and he'll also join the first power-play unit. Four of Laine's points this season have come with the man advantage.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
