On Monday, Jonathan Drouin broke silence on why he took a leave of absence from the Montreal Canadiens in April.

He told RDS that he has been dealing with anxiety and insomnia problems that have been causing him issues for years. Drouin took to the ice for the pre-game warmup on April 23rd in Calgary when he decided he wasn't good to play and five days later the Canadiens announced he was taking a personal leave of absence.

Florida Panthers forward Anthony Duclair showed support for his friend, Drouin, on social media following the news being made public.

"Proud of my brother @jodrouin27 for opening up and sharing what he's been through. Growing up we've always talked about how much of a dream it would be to play for the Habs/NHL. I know how much he cares about the game and I know he'll bounce back like he always does. Warrior," Duclair said.

It's nice to see Duclair and many fans across hockey to come out and share their support for Drouin. All Habs fans cannot wait for him to take to the ice again when training camp gets underway this week.
