Report: Tampa's Drouin unlikely to replace Callahan in Game 6
When Tampa's Ryan Callahan underwent an emergency appendectomy Monday night, it seemed a lineup spot would finally open up for rookie Jonathan Drouin, who played in just two of the five games in the second round.
But according to multiple reports out of Tampa practice Tuesday morning, it seems center Jonathan Marchessault could crack the lineup instead, as Marchessault told reporters he will be taking warm-up Tuesday night.
Marchessault played in two games for the Lightning this season and recorded one goal on three shots. Drouin has played in 73 games and totaled 32 points (four goals, 28 assists).

As of right now #lightning Jonathan Drouin won't replace Ryan Callahan tonight. Kind of a surprise to be honest. #tvasports
