The big development for the Montreal Canadiens organization today is the placement of Jonathan Drouin on long-term injured reserve as he takes a leave of absence for personal reasons. The only thing to do in this situation is to wish him the best.
To replace him on a roster already missing a few forwards, it appears as though the team will add Michael Frolik as an emergency recall, depending on the health of Tomas Tatar who still seems to be dealing with his lower-body issue despite playing in Monday’s crucial win in Calgary.
