Avs forward Jonathan Drouin out with lower-body injury for playoff series against Winnipeg

The Colorado Avalanche will be without forward Jonathan Drouin for their first-round playoff series against Winnipeg due to a lower-body injury

APRIL 20 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ruled out for opening round Drouin (lower body) will miss Colorado's first-round series against Winnipeg.

Impact Drouin was hurt late in the second period in Thursday's regular-season finale, and the injury is ultimately serious enough to keep the winger sidelined in the opening round of the playoffs. It's a big loss for the Avs -- Drouin had a career-high 56 points (19 goals, 37 assists) in 79 games, including 18 (seven goals, 11 assists) in his final 15 contests. With Drouin out, Artturi Lehkonen could be bumped up to Colorado's top line while Joel Kiviranta will likely reenter the lineup.

Impact Drouin left the game late in the second period and didn't play in the third. The Avalanche have generally had decent luck keeping players healthy down the stretch, but the timing of this injury is unfortunate. It's unclear if Drouin will be ready to suit up for Game 1 of the Avalanche's first-round series versus the Jets.

Drouin has 19 tallies, 53 points, 121 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 75 contests this season. He should continue to be a productive scorer as long as he maintains his spot on the top line.

He didn't get an assist, but the goal doesn't happen without Drouin. The forward entered the game with eight points over the previous four contests.

The 28-year-old forward is up to 43 points, 100 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 67 appearances this season, and he's been firmly in the top six for much of 2024 after an up-and-down start to the campaign.

Game-time call for Saturday Drouin (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's clash with Edmonton, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Impact Drouin has found his offensive game of late with two goals and two assists in his last four outings. If the winger does return to action, he figures to retake a top-six role, likely knocking Brandon Duhaime down the lineup. In addition, Drouin could be an option for the No. 1 power-play unit.
