Islanders' Drouin (Lower Back) Expected to Return Saturday vs. Lightning

New York Islanders forward Jonathan Drouin (lower back) is expected to return to action Saturday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He will not play Thursday against Anaheim. Drouin, 30, rejoined the Islanders for a team skate Thursday morning, his first since being a late scratch a week ago against the Avalanche. He had been skating on his own and receiving treatment on Long Island.
