“It’s not an injury you need to manage,” Avs coach Jared Bednar told reporters after Drouin missed practice Tuesday in Denver. “When he’s good, he’s good. We’ll push through to break as best as we can. If he can play, he can play. If he can’t, he can’t. His injury, there’s no risk of it getting worse.”

Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar announced that forward Jonathan Drouin would miss Wednesday’s game versus the Chicago Blackhawks due to an upper-body injury.
