    This former Lightning forward had a big night with his current club.

    The Colorado Avalanche picked up a big 5-0 win against the St. Louis Blues on Jan. 31. A former Tampa Bay Lightning forward was a significant reason for the Avalanche's victory. 

    Former Bolt Jonathan Drouin had an impressive night for the Avs, as he scored twice and recorded an assist on Cale Makar's first-period goal. 

    Both of Drouin's goals were nice, too. For his first, he batted a rebound in front and beat Blues goalie Joel Hofer. Then, for his second of the night, Drouin beat Hofer with a perfectly placed snapshot to give Colorado a 3-0 lead. 

    With this big performance, Drouin now has six goals, 20 points, and a plus-4 rating in 20 games. While he dealt with injury trouble earlier this season, the 29-year-old is undoubtedly having a strong campaign for the Avs.

    The Lightning selected Drouin as the third overall pick of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. In 164 games over three seasons as a Bolt, he had 29 goals and 95 points.
