Jonathan Drouin will return to the Montreal Canadiens' lineup Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers after missing three games with a lower-body injury and an additional game with an illness, the team announced.
The illness apparently wasn't pretty:
#Habs Drouin says he feels ready to play tomorrow vs #Oilers. His flu was similar to McDavid’s — Drouin says he lost around 6 pounds and was vomiting quite a bit.

Drouin had two goals and two assists in his last three games prior to the illness, so he'll look to pick up where he left off come puck drop.
