Jonathan Drouin News
Drouin has been held out of the last three games and will take an indefinite leave of absence starting on Wednesday. This opens the door for Cole Caufield to remain in the Canadiens lineup moving forward. We wish Drouin all the best.
Drouin is being hampered by an ankle issue, so he'll come out of the lineup for Thursday's game vs. the Rangers. Charles Hudon was recalled from Laval (AHL) and will draw in for Drouin.
Drouin has been out since mid-November after undergoing wrist surgery on November 18th. Drouin practiced for the second straight day on Wednesday but will need a few more skates before returning to the lineup. Monitor his status heading into their back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday.
Drouin suffered a wrist injury during Friday's game in Washington, was placed on IR on Saturday and will miss several weeks after undergoing surgery on Monday. Tomas Tatar moved back to the top-line with Drouin out and Charles Hudon will likely remain with the team while he is out.
Drouin was levelled by Alex Ovechkin in Friday's game and did not return after suffering an "upper-body" injury. His move to IR means he'll miss at least one week or three games. Charles Hudon was recalled from Laval (AHL) to take his spot on the roster.
Drouin left last night’s win vs. the Senators with a lower-body ailment and it will force him to miss at least tonight’s game vs. Detroit, but his status for Saturday’s home game remains up in the air. This is a tough break for the Habs, who have won three in a row and appeared to be getting back on track. Drouin leads the team with 17 points (5G / 12A) in 25 games this season.
