Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin left Saturday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks after taking a slap shot to the ribs.

Drouin left the ice following the play and was reportedly en route to the hospital as a precaution, with the Canadiens later announcing he would not return to the game after being limited to just 6:08 of ice time.

The Canadiens forward has scored 26 points in 46 games this season.
