Jonathan Drouin was benched for the entire game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. We know that he broke a team rule on Friday and should have been left out, but with great surprise, he was in the lineup.

Drouin was the first player in the NHL in nearly six years to not play a single second for disciplinary reasons," said Renaud Lavoie.

Jonathan Drouin:

First player to have 0:00 of ice time in a game for disciplinary reasons since Buffalo's Sam Reinhart on March 28, 2017 against Columbus.

After the game, Drouin agreed to appear before the media like a man and explain the situation.

"Jonathan Drouin mentions that he didn't hear his alarm clock yesterday morning. He says he arrived two minutes late to the meeting. He accepts Martin St-Louis' decision."

What's most shocking is that the Tricolore got absolutely embarassedThursday night in Florida, so the team meeting was more than important. The kind of meeting you definitely don't want to miss. Nevertheless, Jo didn't hide, even if he was praised by Martin St-Louis after Saturday's game.

Jo broke a team rule and we had to do something. The situation with the injuries meant we had to dress him for the game, but he took it like a man. He was perfect on the bench, encouraged his teammates and was there for them. Now we turn the page and move on." - Martin St. Louis

For press briefings, it's below.
