Denna Laing’s family is not preparing to sue the National Hockey League or anyone else over the serious injury the professional hockey player suffered during the NHL’s Winter Classic, a source with direct knowledge of the family’s thinking told The Post.

The NHL’s Boston Bruins are going to hold one or more 50/50 raffles during games to help the family. The family will receive half the proceeds, the source said.

On Saturday, the Bruins announced they would donate at least $200,000 to help Laing.

Also, the family has authorized a website to raise money through the Denna Laing Fund, which is being administered by law firm Ropes & Gray.

NHL officials told participants on a conference call recently that the league expected to be sued by the Laing family, The Post reported last week, citing sources familiar with the call.

Laing crashed into the boards during an outdoor game between the National Women’s Hockey League’s Boston Pride and the Canadian Women’s Hockey League’s Les Canadiennes at Gillette Stadium. She suffered a several spinal cord injury.

There were reports that the ice surface was soft at the time of the accident.
