Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin has likely played his last game this calendar year due to an upper-body injury.

The Canadiens announced Tuesday that Drouin would miss the next four-to-six weeks with the injury, which the team says he suffered on Nov. 5 against the Golden Knights.

Drouin played in three more games after being injured but missed Tuesday's loss to the Devils. The 27-year-old has four assists in 12 games this season.
