Jonathan Drouin’s been playing some of his best hockey of late, with five points in his last four contests.
He isn’t showing any signs of slowing down, either.
This is Drouin’s effort from today’s Lightning-Kings game at Staples, setting up Tyler Johnson to even the score at one late in the first period:
Not bad. Tanner Pearson may still be looking for his protective undergarment.
Little has gone right for Tampa Bay lately -- or this season, to be honest -- but Drouin could be on the verge of changing that. He was terrific in December, with eight goals and 15 points in 13 games, and appears to have carried that form over to the new year. He’s been a point-a-game guy in January, a trend that continued this afternoon.
