Lightning's Jonathan Drouin: Won't go Tuesday

Drouin won't be in the lineup Tuesday evening against the Canucks, Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune reports.

This will mark the sixth consecutive absence from game action for Drouin, who's in the midst of his third injury-related absence this year. However, he appears close to returning, as he's been skating and taking contact recently. With the NHL going on a brief hiatus after Tuesday's games, the talented 20-year-old's next chance to get back out there will be Saturday against Columbus.
