It looks like Jonathan Drouin is going to take a page from P.K. Subban’s playbook when it comes to charitable work in Montreal.

A news conference will be held Tuesday afternoon at Montreal’s CHUM hospital, at which time it is expected Drouin will announce a long-term financial commitment to one of the largest hospitals in North America.

The Canadiens acquired Drouin from the Tampa Bay Lightning this summer in exchange for top defence prospect Mikhail Sergachev and Montreal GM Marc Bergevin quickly signed the 22-year-old forward to a six-year, US$33-million contract. Drouin was born in Ste-Agathe and played his minor hockey on Montreal’s West Island.

In September 2015, Subban made a $10-million pledge over seven years to the Montreal Children’s Hospital and had an atrium named after him at the hospital. Subban was 26 at the time and the pledge to raise $10 million came after he had signed an eight-year, US$72-million contract with the Canadiens.
