Drouin (not injury related) is expected to play Friday versus Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin took Thursday's game against Carolina off so that he could return to New York to pick up his things. He hadn't gotten a chance to do so since St. Louis acquired him from the Islanders on March 6. Drouin is back with the Blues and might serve on the second line alongside Pavel Buchnevich and Otto Stenberg versus the Oilers.

Drouin (not injury related) will miss Thursday's game in Carolina, per Andy Strickland of the FanDuel Sports Network.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin was acquired by St. Louis from the Islanders on March 6, but the Islanders were on the road when he was dealt, and he hasn't gotten the opportunity to return to New York to pick up his things. For that reason, Drouin has briefly parted ways with the Blues to gather his stuff. He's expected to be an option for Friday's home game against the Oilers. Nathan Walker might play Thursday due to Drouin's absence.

Drouin scored a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin was flipped to the Blues in the Brayden Schenn deal. The 30-year-old Drouin is getting a look on the second line, which should put him in a position to find some offense if he can mesh with his new teammates. He had gone 38 games without a goal to end his Islanders tenure, so he's already off to a better start with the Blues. He has 22 points (six on the power play), 75 shots on net, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 56 appearances this season.

St. Louis acquired Drouin, a 2026 first-round pick (Colorado), a 2026 third-round selection and Marcus Gidlof from the Islanders on Friday in exchange for Brayden Schenn, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin has registered three goals, 21 points and 73 shots on net through 55 appearances this campaign. He still has one more season remaining on his two-year, $8 million contract. Drouin could serve as a middle- or bottom-six forward for the Blues.

Drouin notched a power-play assist and three shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin helped out on Anders Lee's tally in the first period. The 30-year-old Drouin missed one game due to a lower-body injury, and while he was listed on the second line Wednesday, he saw just 13:25 of ice time. His goal drought is up to 37 games, and he's provided just seven helpers in that span, so his trust with head coach Patrick Roy is pretty low at this point. Drouin has 21 points, 73 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 54 appearances this season.

Drouin (lower body) told reporters he will be available to face the Ducks on Wednesday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin will have missed just one game due to his lower-body injury. His return to the lineup may not impact the majority of fantasy managers, considering he has gone 36 games without finding the back of the net and is pointless in his last 14 outings. With Drouin back in the lineup, Anthony Duclair will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box.

Drouin (lower body) won't play against Florida on Sunday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin will miss at least one game after sustaining the injury in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Columbus. He has produced three goals, 20 points and 70 shots on net across 53 appearances this season. Anthony Duclair will replace Drouin in Sunday's lineup against the Panthers.

Drouin (illness) was back at practice ahead of Monday's matchup against Washington, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin looks set to return to the lineup after missing out versus the Predators on Saturday due to an illness. The 30-year-old forward is currently mired in a 31-game goal drought, and he hasn't recorded a point over his last nine outings. Drouin's offensive struggles will likely see him miss the 40-point threshold for the second straight year.

Drouin (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Predators, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Max Shabanov will replace Drouin in the lineup. It's unclear at this time if Drouin will be able to play Monday versus the Capitals. The 30-year-old Drouin is in the midst of a nine-game point drought.

Drouin notched two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin has started January with three helpers over two games. He had just one assist over nine outings in December, though he lost five contests to a back injury. Drouin now has 19 points, 51 shots on net, 17 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 36 appearances. He's still got fantasy appeal as long as he stays in the top six and on the first power-play unit, but he's far from being a must-have player.
