It might be an uphill battle for him to make a mark, but Jonathan Drouin is back in the mix for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.
The Bolts seemed excited to confirm as much heading into their game against the Minnesota Wild. Erik Condra gets lost in the shuffle with Drouin returning.
According to sources such as Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune, Drouin will begin on the fourth line:

We’re not that far removed from Drouin generating early chemistry with Steven Stamkos, yet it might take him some time to get back on that line.
