Bob McKenzie joins Liam McHugh during the intermission report to talk about the latest chapter in the sage between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Jonathan Drouin, who was suspended for failing to report to an AHL game.

The relationship between Jonathan Drouin and the Tampa Bay Lightning seemed to reach a boiling point Wednesday, and with no hope for a reconciliation.

The NHL team suspended the 20-year-old forward without pay for failure to report to tonight’s AHL game between the Syracuse Crunch and Toronto Marlies.

Drouin’s request for a trade out of Tampa Bay has long since been made public, but the drama hit a new level prior to tonight’s minor league game, as hockey insider Bob McKenzie further broke down the details of this saga during Rivalry Night on NBCSN.
