Drouin logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin is up to three helpers, all on the power play, over four playoff contests. However, his outlook is dimming -- he was bumped down to the third line Saturday and saw a team-low 9:53 of ice time, while Gabriel Landeskog moved into the top six and took over Drouin's spot on the first power-play unit. Drouin has added four shots on net, three hits, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He's struggled at times when the Avalanche were healthy and he saw less time, so this move doesn't bode well for his short-term production.

Drouin notched a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Stars in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin helped out on a Nathan MacKinnon tally in the second period. The 30-year-old Drouin was on a three-game skid before missing the final six contests of the regular season due to a lower-body injury. He'll be a factor in a top-six role and should see time on the first power-play unit for much of the postseason, though he could give way to Gabriel Landeskog (knee) in that role if or when the Avalanche's captain returns to the lineup.

Drouin (lower body) will be available for Game 1 against Dallas on Saturday, according to Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin missed the final six games of the regular season, finishing with 11 goals, 37 points and 56 shots on net across 43 appearances. He will occupy a top-six role and see time on the power play during the playoffs.

Drouin (lower body) will not travel with the Avs for their season-ending, two-game road trip, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin has already missed four games due to his lower-body injury and will now be shelved for another two while staying back in Colorado. Despite playing in just 43 games this year, the 30-year-old center has been relatively productive with 11 goals and 26 helpers, including 12 power-play points. Despite his absence for the last two games of the regular season, Drouin should still be an option during the postseason.

Drouin (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Canucks, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Drouin will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game Thursday, head coach Jared Bednar said that the 30-year-old will likely be able to return this weekend, as the Avalanche have a back-to-back set that includes a matchup against Los Angeles on Saturday and a game against Anaheim on Sunday. Over 19 appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, Drouin has logged five goals, 10 assists, seven hits, seven blocked shots and four PIM while averaging 16:30 of ice time.

Drouin (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Vegas on Tuesday, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin is still day-to-day and will miss his third straight game. After Tuesday's outing, Colorado has three games remaining, including Sunday's regular-season finale versus Anaheim, and it's unclear if Drouin will return to the lineup before the playoffs. He has produced 11 goals, 37 points and 56 shots on net across 43 appearances this season.

Drouin (lower body) won't play versus St. Louis on Saturday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin is day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. He has generated 11 goals, 37 points and 56 shots on net across 43 appearances this season. With Drouin and Martin Necas (upper body) unavailable, Miles Wood and Jimmy Vesey have occupied middle-six roles in the lineup.

Drouin (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Columbus, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin sustained a lower-body injury during Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks, and he'll be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set. Martin Necas (undisclosed) will also be unavailable Thursday, so Jimmy Vesey and Miles Wood will enter Colorado's lineup. Drouin's next chance to suit up will be Saturday in St. Louis.

Drouin (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Blackhawks, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin's injury comes in the first half of a back-to-back, leaving his status for Thursday's game versus the Blue Jackets in doubt. Miles Wood or Jimmy Vesey would draw in if Drouin can't suit up Thursday, while Ross Colton or Logan O'Connor would be in line for more ice time.

Drouin scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Drouin helped out on the second of Martin Necas' goals in the second period before scoring one of his own in the third. This was Drouin's fourth multi-point effort over the last six games, and he's earned at least one power-play point in five of those outings. The 29-year-old is up to 11 goals, 37 points (12 on the power play), 54 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 40 contests in 2024-25. He's finding steady success in a top-six role, and he's even been on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon in the last few games.
