Colorado Avalanche forward Jonathan Drouin will miss the team’s first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets with a lower-body injury.
Drouin suffered the injury in Colorado’s final regular-season game against the Edmonton Oilers. The forward exited the game after an awkward fall into the boards late in the second period.
Last season, Drouin struggled with the Montreal Canadiens. But in his first season on the Avalanche’s top line, the 29-year-old forward set a career-high in points.
Drouin finished with 19 goals and 37 assists for 56 points in 79 games.
The Avalanche open Round 1 against the Winnipeg Jets with Game 1 scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on Sunday on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
