Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin to miss multiple weeks with UBI

On Tuesday morning, Montreal Canadiens General Manager Kent Hughes told reporters at the GM meetings that forward Jonathan Drouin will miss a bit of time with an upper-body injury, but didn't elaborate on a specific length of time he could potentially miss.

Following their 5-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils, Canadiens Head Coach Martin St. Louis issued another update on Drouin's status going forward and it's not a good one.

The 27-year-old will miss the next four-to-six weeks with an upper-body injury he suffered during November 5th's 6-4 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Drouin, a native of Sainte-Agathe (Quebec), has skated in 12 games so far this season for Montreal, tallying four assists and is a minus-four. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st.

L'attaquant Jonathan Drouin ratera de 4 à 6 semaines en raison d'une blessure au haut du corps subie le 5 novembre c. Vegas.
