Jonathan Drouin

MONTREAL -- Following a week's absence, Jonathan Drouin is back for the Montreal Canadiens.

The 22-year-old had been sidelined since November 29 with a lower body injury -- as well the flu -- and missed Montreal's four last games.
He'll replace Jacob de la Rose in the lineup opposite Edmonton, confirmed head coach Claude Julien prior to puck drop on Saturday, as the Habs will be looking to snap a two-game skid.
In 25 games this season, Drouin has five goals and is tied with a team-leading 12 assists for 17 points.
The Habs went 2-1-1 in his absence.
