As reported by the site Marqueur.com, he and his partner, Jordan Leigh, attended an event organized by the Douglas Foundation a few weeks ago to raise funds for mental health.
As we know, the Finnish forward has had this cause at heart since he joined the National Hockey League's player assistance program, having gone through particularly difficult times in recent years.
That said, in recent days, the Canadiens forward's partner shared a post on social media about another initiative the couple is working on in collaboration with the Douglas Foundation.
What a nice gesture from the couple who inspire many people by being so involved in the community and we can see that this cause is particularly close to their hearts.
As for the hockey player, the new acquisition of Kent Hughes is undoubtedly very eager to make a return to the game.
It should be remembered that Patrick Laine was acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets at the end of last August along with a second-round pick in the next draft for the services of Jordan Harris.
However, in his second preseason game, the 26-year-old forward suffered a knee injury following contact with Cédric Paré of the Toronto Maple Leafs and he should return to the game around the holiday season.
Let's just say that with the Canadiens' current performance, his return to the lineup will be very well received by Martin St-Louis.
