Jonathan Drouin Out With Non-COVID-Related Illness

October 7, 2021 at 6:10 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 6 Comments

The Montreal Canadiens announced that forward Jonathan Drouin will miss tonight’s preseason tilt against the Ottawa Senators, citing a non-COVID-related illness as the reason for the late scratch.

While the team hasn’t given any further information on Drouin’s health, a preseason absence from a guaranteed roster player usually isn’t too much to worry about. With Montreal already entering the season with a depleted roster, the full health of their players is of utmost priority right now, so Drouin’s absence can best be predicted as precautionary.

However, if Drouin does miss any period of time, it could be yet another challenge for the team at the beginning of the season. Montreal starts the season with three games in four nights against the Maple Leafs, Sabres, and Rangers. They’re currently without Carey Price, Shea Weber, Paul Byron, Mike Hoffman, and Joel Edmundson to begin the year, with all players expected to be out for varying lengths of time.

Drouin returns to the team in 2021-22 after taking a leave of absence at the end of last year, missing the entire playoffs as well. He’s struggled with injuries over the past two seasons, tallying just nine goals and 38 points in 71 games. Expected to fit into the team’s top-nine forward group this season, his return is greatly anticipated for a team looking to return to the playoffs this season.

    Did someone criticize his play and hurt his feelings again?

    There is absolutely no such thing as a non-COVID related illness these days. Trudeau will be handing Les Habitants an exhorbitant fine in short order for this blatant disregard of the national narrative.

      All of the world leaders and medical professionals on Earth are united in a dark and shadowy conspiracy against him.

      Seems likely. Drugs do not just go away because hockey wants them to.
