Jonathan Drouin had the best time with the Canadiens

Jonathan Drouin returned to the Canadiens lineup on Monday night after taking a leave of absence due to anxiety and insomnia.

Drouin hit it well right away with new linemates Josh Anderson and Christian Dvorak. Drouin had two assists and played 14:49. He was named the game's third star.

After the game, Drouin talked to media what it was like to return and how he felt playing in front of the fans again.

"I'm really happy to be back, I'm happy, I feel like myself," Drouin said. "It's fun to be playing hockey."
