Drouin expected to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.

He was hampered by a sore hip to start the year and now this surgery will keep him out until the middle of March which will have him return for the final 10-15 games of the season. For re-draft leagues he is safe to drop, while in deep keeper leagues he is worth stashing away in your IR.

Parise (concussion) is doubtful for Thursady’s game vs. Buffalo.
Parise has not quite progressed how the Wild thought he would and he will likely sit for the fourth straight game. It is a shame, because a contest vs. the Sabres would have been the perfect way to ease him back into the lineup. Monitor his status in the morning skate.
Parise (concussion) will not play Tuesday, but there is a “chance” he will play on Thursday.
Parise will miss his third straight game with a concussion, which means he won’t get to face his former team tonight in New Jersey. He skated again this morning which is obviously a good sign. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday’s game vs. the Sabres.
