The Montreal Canadiens placed Jonathan Drouin on injured reserve Saturday after the forward suffered an upper-body injury during Friday's win over the Washington Capitals, the team announced.
Drouin was on the wrong end of a massive collision with Alex Ovechkin during the second period of Friday's game. He was visibly shaken up and temporarily left the contest, but he returned to play six shifts in the third period. The team said the injury occurred in the third frame.

Drouin is tied for third on the Habs with 15 points in 19 games.
Charles Hudon, who leads the AHL's Laval Rocket with nine goals in 17 games, was recalled by Montreal in a corresponding move.
