Jonathan Drouin Leaves Game After Taking Shot To Head

In Tuesday night's contest against the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin took a shot to the head by teammate Brett Kulak. From here, he immediately skated off the ice and headed to the locker room

It then was reported by Renaud Lavoie that Drouin went to a Montreal hospital for further evaluation.

This is awful luck for Drouin. The 26-year-old forward of course left the Canadiens early last season to focus on his mental health and has been off to a wonderful start this campaign. In 10 games so far, he has two goals and seven points.

Here's to hoping he doesn't have too serious of an injury and feels okay soon. It's always so scary to see a player get hit in the head with a shot like that. For those of you who feel comfortable watching the video of it, it's down below.
