Patrik Laine set to represent Finland in 4 Nations Confrontation

Patrik Laine has been selected to represent Finland in the upcoming 4 Nations Confrontation, despite not having played this season. His participation follows his return to the Montreal Canadiens lineup on Tuesday against the Islanders. Finland's decision to include Laine reflects confidence in his potential impact on the team. He will have about two months to prepare before the tournament begins. Samuel Montembeault is also expected to join the tournament as Canada's third goaltender. Other Canadiens players, including Joel Armia, may also be considered for their national teams.
