The move is retroactive to Oct. 20. when Laine took a high hit from Calgary Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson.
Andersson has since filed an appeal on a four-game suspension he received for the incident.
Laine, 25, was shaken by the hit but was able to skate off the ice under his own power.
Laine has tallied a goal and one assist in four games so far this season.
