Lightning's Jonathan Drouin: Out Thursday

Drouin (illness) isn't on the ice for pregame warmups, indicating he won't play Thursday against the Flames.

Analysis:

With Drouin unavailable Thursday, the recently recalled Cory Conacher will get an opportunity to slot into the lineup against the Flames. Tampa Bay's next game isn't until Monday against the Senators, which could give Drouin enough time to overcome the illness that's keeping him out of Thursday evening's contest.
