"I guess I'm not invincible, just got diagnosed
with Covid, since I'm asthmatic, not the best news, will fight
it off!" Laraque wrote Thursday night on Twitter.
The official Edmonton Oilers' Twitter account replied to his
post, writing "Get well soon, Big Georges!"
Laraque, 43, recorded 43 goals, 68 assists and 826 penalty
minutes during his eight seasons with the Oilers (1997-2006).
The Montreal native was selected by the Oilers with the 31st
overall pick of the 1995 NHL Draft.
Laraque also played with the then-Phoenix Coyotes and Pittsburgh
Penguins before finishing his career with the Canadiens. He
collected 53 goals, 100 assists and 1,126 penalty minutes in 695
career games.
