Jonathan Drouin has been scratched from the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup for Saturday night’s game against the Washington Capitals with a lower-body injury.
Drouin was the third overall pick in the 2013 Draft, and his usage by the Lightning has been a point of contention for some fans.
The Lightning have scored 70 goals this season, tied for 25th in the NHL, in what was has been a slow start for last year’s Eastern Conference Champions.
They go into Saturday’s game in sixth place in the Atlantic Division.
