Devin Setoguchi's been through a lot at only 29 years old

In a candid piece written by The Hockey News' David Pollack, the three-time 20-goal scorer opens up about his battles with alcoholism and depression, and hitting rock bottom.

During his most difficult times during the 2014-15 season, he was drinking two 26-ounce bottles of Jameson whiskey a day, Pollack writes. Setoguchi also details his use of Ambien and cocaine, when he was a member of the Winnipeg Jets.

Setoguchi went into rehab in the spring of 2015. He spent last season playing in Switzerland, and will be at Los Angeles Kings camp on a professional tryout this fall.
