<p>Montreal Canadiens winger Patrik Laine has opened nearly a week after an ugly knee-on-knee collision.</p>

<p>Laine, meanwhile, said Thursday he put himself in a bad position.</p>
<p>“I don’t think anybody’s trying to hurt anybody. Hockey’s a fast game. I kind of put myself in that situation a little bit. He’s (Pare) trying to make a stop, but it’s just an unfortunate collision,” Laine told reporters in Montreal.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s more on Laine from <em>Daily Faceoff&#8217;s</em> Shane Seney:</p>

<p>Laine is looking to reset his career in Montreal, after a couple of tough seasons in Columbus, both on and off the ice. Laine appeared in just 18 games for the Blue Jackets last season, scoring six goals and collecting nine points.</p>
<p>With Laine unavailable for at least a couple of months, look for Canadiens’ forwards Alex Newhook, Joshua Roy, and Kirby Dach to be called upon to help supply secondary scoring in his absence. Montreal finished last season ranked 26th in the NHL in goals per game, and were hopeful Laine was going to help spark their offense.</p></blockquote>
