The player who was left out of the Avalanche lineup less than a month ago, whom many saw either being waived or going to play in Europe to finish the season, is now one of the most important players for the Avalanche.
Drouin went from not playing at all to playing less than 12 minutes per game, and now he's playing, on average, nearly 19 minutes per game in Colorado. (over the last 7 games)
Even better, during the match against the Winnipeg Jets, he played 25 minutes and 22 seconds, a personal record.
In 24 total games, he has three goals and eight points, but that's after collecting 1 point in his first 11 matches.
