Perhaps the Winnipeg Jets won't have to experience life without Patrik Laine after all.

The Finnish sniper was diagnosed with a bruised foot after blocking a shot in Tuesday's win over the Los Angeles Kings and was subsequently ruled out for four to 14 days.

However, Laine was a full participant in practice Friday morning, and told coach Paul Maurice he's ready to play against the Anaheim Ducks. That said, the 19-year-old still needs clearance from team doctors.

Laine was one of the hottest players in the league before his injury snapped a 15-game point streak across which he recorded 20 goals, vaulting him into second in the "Rocket" Richard race with 43 tallies on the season.
