Ken MacMillan had already reported this but here’s your yearly reminder that Jonathan Drouin is injured. Again.

The left winger had gone to New York for a second opinion on his ever nagging wrist injury, and in the end opted for surgery that will take him out of the lineup for the rest of the season.

Drouin will be in the middle of a million and one rumors once the NHL playoffs are completed. Going into the final year of his contract next season with a $5.5 million cap hit, it will be interesting to see if the Canadiens go one of three directions with him: Trade him, Buy him out, or give him one last chance.

Drouin finishes the year with 6 goals and 14 assists for 20 points in 34 games. He has not played a full season since the 2018-19 season where he tied his career high in points with 53.
