Jackets Place Patrik Laine On IR with Fractured Collar Bone

The Jackets have announced that Patrik Laine has suffered a broken collar bone and will be placed on IR for 6 weeks. The injury came as he was pulled to the ice by Toronto Maple Leaf William Lagesson in the second period. It looked to be a slew foot by Lagesson. 

Here's the play that took out Laine.

Laine had scored a goal earlier in the game. This is a major blow to the team, as long-term injuries are starting to pile up again this season.
