Drouin recorded an assist and put a shot in goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Drouin chipped in with a secondary helper on Emil Heineman's goal within the first five minutes of the opening period. With the helper, Drouin is up to 13 assists, 16 points and 40 shots on net through 28 games this season. With Kyle Palmieri (knee) out for the season, Drouin should play elevated responsibilities, and he has recorded at least 20 minutes of ice time in both games he has appeared in since his return from a back injury. His move up to the top line displayed the confidence that the Isles' coaching staff has in the 30-year-old winger, who scored 56 points in 79 regular-season games just two years ago. Drouin is a buy-low candidate in fantasy with high upside if he can retain his new role.

Drouin (back) is participating at Friday's optional practice and is slated to return to action Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Drouin was in a slump prior to getting hurt, as he had only one assist in a nine-game span from Nov. 16 - Dec. 2. Overall, the 30-year-old has three goals and 12 assists in 26 appearances. He should slot back as a top-six forward upon his return.

Drouin (back) will not be in the lineup against Anaheim on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Drouin has been out of action for the Isles' last four contests and will now be on the shelf for a fifth. Prior to suffering his back injury, the 30-year-old center was mired in a nine-game goal drought during which he registered one assist, 17 shots and six blocks while averaging 18:52 of ice time. With Drouin on the shelf, the Isles have shifted Jean-Gabriel Pageau to the wing on the second line for Mathew Barzal.

Drouin (back) didn't accompany the Islanders on the team's two-game road trip, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Drouin is recovering from a minor tweak, but he will miss at least Saturday's matchup against Tampa Bay and Sunday's contest versus Florida. He has registered three goals, 12 assists and 38 shots on net across 26 appearances this season. Maxim Tsyplakov will remain in the top six due to Drouin's absence.

Drouin (back) is day-to-day and will travel on the Islanders' two-game road trip to Florida this weekend, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Drouin was a late scratch Thursday against the Avalanche, as Maxim Tsyplakov took his spot in the lineup. Head coach Patrick Roy said Friday that Drouin woke up with the injury. Drouin has three goals and 12 assists in 26 appearances this season. He could return to action as early as Saturday versus Tampa Bay.

Drouin (lower body) was a late scratch for Thursday's game against Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Drouin has three goals and 15 points in 26 outings this season. He's considered day-to-day, so it remains to be seen if he'll play Saturday or Sunday against Tampa Bay or Florida, respectively. Maxim Tsyplakov, who might have otherwise been a healthy scratch Thursday, is in the lineup against the Avalanche.

Drouin scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
The goal was technically an own goal by the Mammoth, so Drouin scored without officially recording a shot on goal in this contest. It was initially waved off for a kicking motion before a video review ruled Drouin was not the one to propel the puck into the net. The 30-year-old is up to two goals and five assists during his four-game point streak. For the season, the forward has three goals, 14 points, 21 shots on net, 17 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 17 appearances.

Drouin logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Drouin is heating up in a big way with six points over three games to begin this road trip for the Islanders. The 30-year-old has earned two of his five helpers in that span on the power play. Drouin has two goals, 11 assists, 21 shots on net, 17 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 16 appearances, filling a playmaking role in the top six and on the first power-play unit this season.

Drouin scored a goal, registered two assists and recorded a block in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Drouin found twine with less than a minute to play in the first period before picking up two assists, with his first being on a power play. It was a much-needed performance for him, as he was on a four-game scoreless streak. Overall, the 30-year-old forward has two goals, 10 points and 17 shots on net in 14 appearances this season. While Drouin's numbers don't immediately jump off the page, he is averaging a career-high 4:08 of power-play time this season. His extra time with a man advantage could continue to pay dividends as he looks to chase the fourth 50-plus point season of his 12-year career. With his current opportunities in the Islanders' top six and solid output offensively, Drouin has good value in deeper fantasy leagues and can work his way back to relevancy in standard formats.
