Lightning insert Jonathan Drouin for Game 4

The time has come for Jonathan Drouin.

In need of an offensive kick, the Tampa Bay Lightning will skate the dynamic winger in their critical Game 4 clash with the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. 

Drouin has been brought along slow, his development a reflection of it. The former 2013 third-overall selection, who scored more than 100 points twice in junior, finished with just four goals and 32 points in his 70 games, taking just over 13 minutes a night. 

He was a healthy scratch for the first three games of the series.
