Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Dealing with upper-body injury
Jonathan Drouin will miss Monday's game against Tampa Bay because of an upper-body injury, according to Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.It's not clear if this is related to the upper-body injury that kept Drouin out of the lineup from Oct. 12-Nov. 13. He has two goals and four points in five outings in 2024-25. When available, he typically plays on Colorado's top line and first power-play unit, but staying healthy has been a recurring issue this campaign. Drouin's absence is expected to result in Ivan Ivan serving in a top-six capacity versus the Lightning.

Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Pockets helper
Jonathan Drouin logged an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.It was his first point in two games since he returned from an upper-body injury. Drouin has immediately resumed a top-six role, though he's on the second power-play unit, as head coach Jared Bednar has opted to leave a successful first unit intact even with the Colorado Avalanche getting three forwards back from injury last week. Drouin has yet to post a shot on goal through three contests, but he should improve in that regard as he gets more comfortable in the lineup. That said, he's not often been a high-volume shooter over the last two seasons.

Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Might be ready for Friday
Jonathan Drouin (upper body) will miss Wednesday's game against Los Angeles, but he might be an option Friday versus Washington, per Adrian Hernandez of Mile High Hockey.Drouin hasn't played since Colorado's season opener Oct. 9 because of the injury. He had 19 goals and 56 points in 79 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Before getting hurt, Drouin began the campaign on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, but because Artturi Lehkonen is healthy now and thriving (two goals and four points through four outings), Drouin might instead serve on the second line alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Logan O'Connor should he return Friday.
