Drouin out vs. Bruins, will undergo further evaluation

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin will be out of the lineup Thursday night versus the Boston Bruins, head coach John Cooper told reporters.

Drouin was the victim of a headshot courtesy of New York Islanders blue-liner Calvin de Haan during Tuesday's 6-1 victory. De Haan received a major penalty on the play, but avoided supplemental discipline.

Cooper said Drouin will see team doctors for further evaluation, and didn't estimate a timetable for his return. Given that Drouin has a history of concussions, the latest injury is surely a cause for concern for the Lightning.

In 10 games this season, the 21-year-old has notched two goals and three assists.
