Jonathan Drouin News

The Lightning suspended Jonathan Drouin indefinitely for failure to report to Wednesday's AHL game.

Drouin did not show up for Syracuse’s game on Wednesday and the Lightning have suspended the 20-year-old indefinitely. The Lightning will continue to try and trade Drouin for a fair price, so it looks like he has played his last game with Tampa or Syracuse.

Drouin (undisclosed) is expected to play on Wednesday.

Drouin has missed the last six games with an undisclosed injury, but he is expected to return to the lineup tonight in Anaheim. Drouin, who had one goal and five assists in his first 14 games, is expected to skate on the second line with Vladimir Namestnikov and Nikita Kucherov.

Drouin (undisclosed) practiced on Tuesday; remains doubtful for Wednesday.

Drouin took part in practice on Tuesday, but said he is “not where [he] wants to be,” which suggests that he will not be in the lineup on Wednesday. Monitor his status during the morning skate, but all it looks like he will miss his fourth straight game.
