Garners power-play assist Drouin had a power-play assist, two shots, one block, one hit and two penalty minutes in Saturday's 7-4 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Drouin logged the secondary assist on Mikko Rantanen's third-period strike. It's been a quiet few games for Drouin, who had appeared to find a comfort zone since mid-December. He's minus-3 over the last three games, including an off night in Thursday's loss to Boston when he had a couple of giveaways, wasn't able to handle some passes and finished minus-2. Drouin's steady play led to an assignment on the top line and increase in ice time, much more than he's averaged in recent seasons. That added TOI could be a factor in the recent stretch. The good news is that Colorado has three off days before next suiting up Wednesday at home against Washington.

He's gotten hot at the right time for Colorado, which is coping with the absence of Valeri Nichushkin (personal) for an indefinite period of time.

Impact Drouin had a hand in erasing a 3-1 deficit in the second period. Four minutes after helping on a Valeri Nichushkin, Drouin was the trailer on a feed from Mikko Rantanen and beat Ilya Sorokon high to the blocker side to tie the game. Drouin returned to the top line with Nathan MacKinnon and Rantanen after shifting there in Sunday's win over the Sharks.

Impact Drouin's shot from the side wall was stopped by Jordan Binnington, but Ryan Johansen put the rebound past the goalie for Colorado's first score. Following an unproductive first two months, Drouin is an a roll during the second half of December. He has eight points over the last eight games and 16 through 34 contests. While a point-per-game pace is too much to expect for the rest of the season, the 28-year-old forward has been his healthiest in five seasons -- Drouin's missed just two games this season -- and could threaten his career high of 53 points.

Scores in loss Drouin scored a goal on three shots over 17:18 of ice time in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Arizona.

The helper extended Drouin's point streak to five games (one goal, five assists).

Supplies power-play assist Drouin logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Drouin is suddenly a bit on the warm side with a goal and four helpers, including three power-play points, over his last four games. The 28-year-old set up the first of Valeri Nichushkin's two tallies in the contest. Drouin is up to 13 points, 42 shots, 12 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 30 contests overall. He's had some ups and downs, but it looks like he could stick on the second line for a while given his recent success.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Produces pair of helpers Drouin notched two assists in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Drouin was busy in the first period, setting up a Valeri Nichushkin tally before factoring in on Miles Wood's goal at even strength. This was Drouin's third multi-point effort of the campaign. The 28-year-old has a goal and three assists over the last three contests, giving him 12 points (four on the power play), 40 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 29 appearances overall. He continues to hold onto a top-six role, though that grip is tenuous at best.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleans up on power play Drouin scored a power-play goal and had four shots on net over 18:27 of ice time in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg.

Impact Drouin was in the right place at the right time, knocking home a rebound of a Mikko Rantanen shot that bounced off the back boards. It was the forward's fourth goal (second on power play) and snapped a nine game drought without a tally. Drouin skates on the second line and serves on the first power-play unit, which leads the ample ice time; he's averaged 18:14 TOI over the last six contests during which he has a goal and three assists, his most productive stretch of the season.

Earns helper in win Drouin produced an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact Drouin helped out on a Sam Malinski tally in the third period that squashed the Sabres' chances of building a comeback. The helper was Drouin's third over the last eight games as he continues to be inconsistent on offense. The 28-year-old forward has nine points, 35 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 27 appearances this season. Despite his struggles, he's most often played in a top-six role when he's been in the lineup.

Opens scoring on power play Drouin scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Drouin took a long-range pass from Mikko Rantanen and cut through the Flames' penalty kill to open the scoring at 6:31 of the first period. With three points over his last three games, Drouin's offense finally appears to be trending in the right direction, though it is a small sample. He's at a modest six points, 25 shots on net, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 18 contests this season.

Racks up two points in win Drouin scored a goal on two shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Drouin helped out on a Valeri Nichushkin tally and then tipped in a Cale Makar shot, all in a span of 1:06 late in the first period. This effort snapped Drouin's three-game dry spell, and it was also his first multi-point effort of the season. The 28-year-old forward has two goals, five points, 22 shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 16 outings this season. Given his lack of extended runs of offense, fantasy managers may not want to read too much into one productive outing, though it's encouraging Drouin is maintaining a top-six role with time on the first power-play unit.

Makes cameo on top PP unit Drouin had one shot on goal, one blocked shot and two penalty minutes over 13:44 of ice time in Wednesday's 8-2 win over Anaheim.

Impact While Drouin didn't factor into the scoring Wednesday, he's done enough to be rewarded with TOI on the top power play. He replaced Ryan Johansen on that unit in the third period, which head coach Jared Bednar talked about with Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now. "I think he's a guy that can play in there," the coach said. "I feel like his game's ramping up a little bit here over the last couple games. Obviously, a great playmaker. (Johansen's) been doing a nice job in there, especially off the face-offs and distributing the puck, but it just depends on the ice-time. If I see a guy going, I'd like to try and reward them a little bit, so that has something to do with it as well." Drouin got off to a shaky start this season, bouncing around the lines and being healthy scratched a couple of times, but he's having a good week, including a goal in Monday's win over the Kraken.

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first goal of campaign Drouin scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Drouin has picked up a point in each of the last two games. The 28-year-old converted his first goal of the campaign by finishing off a 2-on-1 on a feed from Nathan MacKinnon. While the early returns weren't pretty, Drouin finds himself back on the top line with Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) on long-term injured reserve. Drouin has three points, 16 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-1 rating through 12 appearances.

Nathan MacKinnon Sets Up Jonathan Drouin To Score His First Goal As An Avalanche

Posts assist Saturday Drouin recorded an assist in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Blues.

Impact After he was healthy scratched Thursday, Drouin played on the top line in this blowout loss. He was able to snap a nine-game point drought, a stretch that had also seen him scratched twice in favor of AHL call-up Riley Tufte. With Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) set for a weeks-long absence, Drouin has a little more security with his playing time in the short term. He has two helpers, 15 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 11 outings.

Scratched Thursday Drouin was a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against Seattle.

Impact Riley Tufte was called up from AHL Colorado and took shifts with the second line while Drouin watched from the press box. It's the second time in four games that Drouin was scratched, but he may resurface Saturday against the Blues. Tufte was sent back down after the game, and top-line left winger Artturi Lehkonen (upper body) was taken to a hospital following a collision with the Kraken's Jamie Oleksiak. Drouin has been given top-six minutes, including shifts on the first line with juniors teammate Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, but he hasn't unlocked the scoring touch he briefly showed with Tampa Bay in 2016. Drouin has one point (an assist) in 10 games.
