This will be a huge workload for Dominique Ducharme's squad, considering the many absentees. The Panthers beat the Tampa Lightning, the number one team overall, 9-3 on Thursday night.
In Drouin's case, he was at practice this morning, after not feeling well yesterday. He was alongside Nick Suzuki and Jesse Ylonen on the first line. He should be in the lineup tomorrow.
Young Cameron Hillis, who started the season with the Trois-Rivières Lions, is now on the Habs' fourth line. What a climb!
