EDGE Analysis

Drury (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Drury was injured in the first period, though it's unclear what caused his issue. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day until further information is available. If he can't play Friday against the Senators, the Hurricanes will likely need to recall a player.

Drury notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Drury continues to hold down a second-line assignment, which has yielded three points for him over the last five games. The 24-year-old may have to adjust to the role, as he had been on the fourth line for most of the first six weeks of the campaign. He's done a decent job as a depth scorer with nine points, 41 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-7 rating over 26 appearances.

Drury had a goal and an assist in a 4-3 win against the Rangers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Drury opened the scoring in opening frame when he wired a near-perfect shot from a tight angle below the left circle that went over Igor Shesterkin's right shoulder. He'd gone seven games without a point and eight without a goal. But Drury was centering the NHL's top scorer, Martin Necas, and last season's breakout star, Seth Jarvis, on Wednesday and didn't look out of place. Grab him off the wire in case this gig sticks. Drury could be a fantasy surprise.

Drury scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Drury is providing decent depth offense in a fourth-line role this season. He has four points over his last seven contests, and that gives him five points through 13 outings overall. The 24-year-old center has added 15 shots on net and a plus-6 rating. It's not enough offense to get fantasy attention in most formats, but Drury is a player to keep an eye on if the Hurricanes get bit by the injury bug at any point in 2024-25.

Drury notched an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Drury set up Jackson Blake's goal in the first period. With three points over his last five games, Drury has done a decent job of chipping in from the fourth line. The 24-year-old center has four points, 12 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 11 contests this season, but the limited role and lack of category coverage make him a low-end fantasy option at best.
