Laine has faced challenges in the NHL, including mental health struggles and injuries, which led him to spend time in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program last season with the Columbus Blue Jackets. After completing the program, he has been training hard for his first season with the Montreal Canadiens, following his trade along with a 2026 second-round pick for Jordan Harris.
Much of Laine's comeback is credited to the support of his fiancée, Jordan Leigh. The couple recently got engaged and have become mental health advocates, launching an initiative called "From Us To You" to help others speak out about their experiences.
Recently, Jordan Leigh has gained attention on Instagram for a more light-hearted reason. As she and Laine prepare to move to Canada, she asked her followers for advice about Montreal and for recommendations for a French teacher.
Her fans responded warmly, flooding her with messages of excitement about their upcoming move and praising Montreal's cuisine.
While Patrik Laine may have faced criticism in the past, it's clear that Jordan Leigh has been a positive influence. With her support, Laine could be poised for his best season yet with the Montreal Canadiens.
