Jared Bednar has so much trust in Drouin that he can entrust him with any task

Jonathan Drouin has found a way to revive his career in Colorado.

He is one of the important players in the Avalanche lineup and he has started to produce offensively again.

The former habs player has a total of 89 points in 117 games since his arrival in Denver.

Good for him.

But according to Jared Bednar, Drouin is not only helping the team at the offensive level.

The Avalanche coach trusts him to the point of saying ( NHL.com ) that he can give him any mission in any situation, which is not nothing.

Again, this shows his importance in the lineup: Jonathan Drouin helped his team win last night by collecting an assist on the powerplay.

Bednar also wanted to send him for a shootout...

but the player rather advised him to trust Brock Nelson because Drouin knew his teammate had a good deke to beat Samuel Montembeault .

And it worked out in the end: Fun note from last night, Jared Bednar had tapped Jonathan Drouin to shoot third in the shootout, but Drouin told him that Brock Nelsons shootout move would beat Montembault.

It did, and the Avs won the game.

He seems to be playing with some freedom, which was not necessarily the case when he played for the Canadiens.

The pressure was perhaps too strong for him (it happens) and in Colorado, he can focus on helping the team without making too much noise.

This is exactly what he is able to do and if he continues like this, maybe the management will give him a vote of confidence by offering him a long-term contract this summer.

Because he still has some good hockey to give.

Overtime Wow.

The Canadiens record in their last 10 games: 5-1-4 Sebastien Goulet (@SebGouletTVAS) March 23, 2025 Good.

He even prefers to wait for the second half of the season to play this role.
