Indeed, having been benched last week, Jonathan Drouin reclaimed his spot on the first unit with his good friend, Nathan MacKinnon, and Mikko Rantanen against the Vegas Golden Knights last Sunday night.
However, the number 27 had a disastrous evening, finishing the game with a -3 differential and only 12 minutes and 45 seconds of playtime. Not helping matters, the left winger from Sainte-Agathe was unable to get on the score sheet in a 6-3 victory against the Devils on Tuesday night.
After 10 games, Jonathan Drouin only had a single assist, having been scoreless in the previous nine matches.
These poor performances forced Jared Bednar, head coach of the Colorado Avalanche, to take action. Consequently, for the second time this season, the Quebec forward was scratched from the lineup, watching the game against the Seattle Kraken from the stands.
