Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin will miss four-to-six weeks with an upper-body injury, the team announced Tuesday.
Drouin suffered the ailment Nov. 5 against the Vegas Golden Knights but had remained in the lineup up until Tuesday versus the New Jersey Devils.
The 27-year-old has failed to score but has registered four assists in 12 games this season. He's in the final year of his contract with a $5.5-million cap hit.
