Colorado Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin Placed on Injured Reserve

Drouin sidelined with upper-body injury as Chris Wagner is called up from AHL.

Drouin suffered the injury during the Avalanche's season opener against the Vegas Golden Knights on October 9.
Head coach Jared Bednar stated that Drouin will be reevaluated on October 28, potentially missing at least five more games.
Jonathan Drouin had a breakout season last year, scoring a career-high 56 points and earning a contract extension.
Ross Colton has stepped into Drouin's top-line role, scoring four goals and five points in his last four games.
Chris Wagner, an 11-year NHL veteran, joins the bottom six and will compete for a fourth-line role amid the Avalanche's challenging start to the season.
