Jonathan Drouin (born March 27, 1995 in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts , Québec ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with the Canadiens de Montréal in the National Hockey League since June 2017 . The left winger previously spent three years with the Tampa Bay Lightning , who had selected him in third overall position in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft .

Career

Junior career

Drouin began his career with the Lions de Lac Saint-Louis in the lower class junior league QMAAA, where he stood out in his first season 2010/11 with his high score of 58 points in 38 games this season. In the subsequent play-offs Drouin led his team to the league championship. The team was thus also qualified for the tournament for the Telus Cup , which is awarded annually to the best team in Canada at Midget AAA level. There Drouin won the bronze medal with his team.

For the first time Drouin represented the selection of his home province Québec at the Canada Winter Games 2011 in Halifax. There he succeeded in the extension of the semifinals, the decisive goal for the final of his team. After a defeat against the selection of British Columbia in the final, Drouin won the silver medal with the Québec team .

In the following season he initially stayed in Lac Saint-Louis and was able to record a total of 22 goals and 53 points scorer after 22 games. He was then appointed to the squad of the Halifax Mooseheads in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec , who had previously selected him in second position in the midget draft of the LHJMQ. On his debut on December 13, 2011, Drouin made two assists, including the crucial pass to the winning goal of the game. In the quarter-finals of the play-offs, the Mooseheads managed to turn the series against Remparts de Québec after a 3-0 deficit. Drouin scored the winning goal in the decisive seventh game in extra time to make it 5: 4, which finally brought the Mooseheads into the next round. At the end of the play-offs, Drouin took sixth place in the scorer statistics behind his teammate Nathan MacKinnon with 26 points. At the same time, he provided more templates than any other rookie .

Despite the departure of MacKinnon, Drouin was able to slightly improve his offensive statistics in the 2013/14 season in a series of attacks with Nikolaj Ehlers and ended the season with 108 points from 46 games as the third best scorer in the league. His 79 assists and his average points per game were each league best. Although he failed with the Mooseheads in the play-off semifinals at the Foreurs de Val-d'Or , Drouin was also at the top of the play-off scorer list after the final series. He also set a new league record with a total of ten winning goals in two seasons.

Tampa Bay Lightning

After he was selected in the first round in the NHL Entry Draft 2013 in third overall position by the Tampa Bay Lightning , the Canadian signed a three-year entry contract with the Bolts in July 2013 . After spending the 2013/14 season in Halifax, he was in the NHL squad for the first time at the beginning of the 2014/15 season . In his debut season, Drouin was most frequently used in Sturm together with Cédric Paquette and team captain Steven Stamkos . He scored four goals and 28 assists in 70 games in his rookie season and won the race as the fastest runner in the 2015 NHL All-Star Game . In preparation for the 2015/16 season , the Canadian was the most successful scorer of his team, but was unable to build on these performances after an injury shortly after the start of the regular season . On January 2, 2016, Drouin was therefore sent to the Lightning farm team, the Syracuse Crunch , in the American Hockey League . Shortly afterwards, a press release from his agent announced that he had already submitted a request to move to Drouin two months earlier.

As a result, Drouin refused after seven completed AHL games to continue to play for the Crunch and thus went on a kind of strike to force a change. Steve Yzerman , General Manager of the Lightning, then suspended the attacker until further notice and allowed the deadline for transfers on February 29, 2016 to pass without relinquishing Drouin to another team. A week later, Drouin announced that he wanted to play ice hockey again, so Yzerman lifted the suspension and the Canadian will play in the AHL again. In addition, Yzerman did not rule out that Drouin could be active again for the Lightning in the NHL despite the incidents. Drouin was called back to the NHL squad in April and was part of the team until the end of the 2016/17 season .

Canadiens de Montréal

On 15 June 2017, the striker was finally in exchange for the Russian defender Mikhail Sergatschow to the Canadiens de Montréal issued. Should Sergachev play fewer than 40 NHL games during the entire 2017/18 season , the Lightning will also receive a second-round vote in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft , while the Canadiens will receive a six- round vote in the same draft. With the move, Drouin returned near his hometown and signed a new six-year contract directly with the Canadiens, which should bring him an average annual salary of 5.5 million US dollars.

International

At his first international tournament, the World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2012 , Jonathan Drouin stood for the selection of Québec on the ice and reached sixth place with the team.

At the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament 2012 , Drouin was finally appointed to the team of Team Canada for the first time . By beating the Finnish selection, Drouin won the gold medal with the team, getting five assists over the course of the tournament. Drouin was also part of the Canadian team at the U20 World Cup in 2013 . After winning Group B, Canada only reached fourth place after losing to the USA and Russia. Drouin scored two goals and two assists.
