Habs reveal why Drouin did not make the trip

Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin did not travel with his club to the Detroit following a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday, according to many sources who were present at the game. 

Drouin did however participate fully in the victory, scoring on a penalty shot during the contest, and even spoke to media in the dressing room. While some sources said that the young forward had forgotten his passport, the team revealed that he did not make the trip because of a lower-body injury. 

In the meantime, Montreal recalled forward Daniel Carr from its AHL affiliate in Laval. There is no new update regarding Drouin’s status.

In 25 games with the Habs, Drouin has five goals and 17 points. Carr has amassed 12 goals and 19 points through 20 games with the Rockets in the American Hockey League.
