Colorado Avalanche Forward Jonathan Drouin Out Week-to-Week with Upper-Body Injury

Drouin's recurring injury leaves the Avalanche shorthanded as Chase Bradley prepares for his NHL debut.

Jonathan Drouin, 29, is sidelined week-to-week after aggravating an upper-body injury sustained earlier this season.
Drouin has only played five games this season, missing 16 games earlier due to the same injury from the season opener.
The Avalanche briefly had their top-six forwards healthy for four games, during which they went 3-1, before Drouin's latest setback.
Coach Jared Bednar confirmed Drouin's current injury is related to his previous condition and emphasized focusing on adapting to lineup challenges.
Rookie forward Chase Bradley, signed as a free agent in July, will make his NHL debut as the Avalanche adjust to their depleted roster.
