Tampa Bay Lighting forward Jonathan Drouin might be back in the lineup ... at some point.
Head coach Jon Cooper gave a vague glimmer of hope to the youngster while addressing the media Wednesday, following the team's morning skate.
Cooper told reporters there's a chance Drouin will be back in the lineup sometime during the Lightning's series against the New York Rangers.
The 20-year-old hasn't played since Game 4 of the team's second-round series against the Montreal Canadiens. The Lightning dressed 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Game 2 against the Rangers.
Drouin is pointless in three games this postseason.
