Jonathan Drouin has been unable to assist the Avalanche since the beginning of the playoffs. He will finally be able to make his return to the game tonight against the Stars.
The status of the Quebecois was supposed to be confirmed just before the start of the 4th game of the second-round series. Everything indicates that Jonathan Drouin will be able to reclaim his place in the lineup after dealing with an injury.
The Avalanche has just suffered a heavy loss with Valeri Nichushkin. The key offensive element for the Avs has been placed in the NHL player assistance program and is suspended for a minimum of 6 months.
