Drouin hasn't suited up since suffering the injury in Colorado's opener on Oct. 9. While the winger is still dealing with some pain, according to Rawal, he appears to be heading in the right direction.

  Drouin (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday. In a corresponding move, the Avalanche recalled Chris Wagner from AHL Colorado on Sunday. The 29-year-old Drouin has missed the past four games. Drouin is still about a week away from being reevaluated, and an exact timetable for his return remains unclear. Ross Colton has been productive while filling in for Drouin in a top-six role.

  Drouin (upper body) is being re-evaluated and won't play in Wednesday's contest versus Boston, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports. Drouin was seemingly injured in Wednesday's season-opening loss against the Golden Knights, as he hasn't played since. Head coach Jared Bednar said the forward is "gonna have a little bit of a longer timeline." Colorado can ill afford to lose Drouin for any extended period of time -- the club is off to an 0-3-0 start.

  Head coach Jared Bednar said Friday that Drouin is dealing with an upper-body injury and will miss "the next few games," Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports. Drouin will at least be sidelined for Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets and Monday's game against the Islanders before being re-evaluated. He logged 21:25 of ice time during Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Golden Knights and finished with a minus-1 rating. It's not yet clear who could be called up to fill the void left by Drouin's absence.
