Laine won't travel on Jets' 3-game road trip

Patrik Laine won't be around to help cure what ails the Winnipeg Jets on their three-game road trip through the southwest.

According to TSN's Sara Orlesky, the rookie sniper will not travel with the club, which further clouds his availability for the NHL All-Star Game at the end of the month.

Laine was concussed last weekend in Buffalo when he was drilled by Sabres defenseman Jake McCabe in open ice. Signs indicate he won't be out long, but the Jets have reason to be conservative with their teenage trigger man.

Laine is tied for third in the NHL with 21 goals, and he owns Winnipeg's best all-situations scoring rate with 2.91 points per 60 minutes.
