Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin reportedly needs surgery
Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin was placed on injured reserve on Friday with an upper-body injury and now more details have emerged as to why.
According to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, Drouin reinjured a wrist issue he's originally suffered back in late-January. Lavoie adds that Drouin will need surgery and will likely miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
The Canadiens have since tweeted saying that Drouin aggravated the injury during Monday's overtime loss to the Boston Bruins, and while it's likely that he will need surgery, he is seeking a second opinion.
The 26-year-old is currently isolating at home after coming into contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
In 34 games this season, the Sainte-Agathe (Quebec) native has 20 points (six goals, fourteen assists), 23 penalty minutes, and is a minus-nine.
Jonathan Drouin is not playing right now because of a wrist injury, the same that he hurts 2 months ago. He came back, played two games, but now he will need surgery and obviously he won't come back this season. @CanadiensMTL— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) March 27, 2022
