Killorn took a spill in practice this morning, but head coach Jon Cooper said that he was fine and just got the wind knocked out of him and would play tonight. Well, it turns out that was not the case. He is out, Jonathan Drouin will make his NHL debut.
Killorn left Monday's practice early, but head coach Jon Cooper said that he just had the wind knocked out of him and he will play tonight. That means that Jonathan Drouin will not go until tomorrow at the earliest.
Killorn, 24, had a strong start to the season but has really cooled off as of late. Moving him onto a line with the red-hot Stamkos could get jumpstart Killorn. Whoever plays the LW on this line becomes a solid fantasy commodity. Ryan Malone had seven points in 12 games in that position.
Killorn will likely begin his pro season in the AHL.
