The Colorado Avalanche placed Jonathan Drouin on injured reserve Sunday and called up fellow veteran forward Chris Wagner from the Colorado Eagles of the American Hockey League.

Drouin, 29, has been sidelined with an upper-body injury since he was injured in Colorado’s season opener at the Vegas Golden Knights on Oct. 9.

The third overall pick of the 2013 NHL Draft by Tampa Bay has 337 points (96 goals, 241 assists) in 565 games with the Lightning (2014-17), Montreal Canadiens (2017-23) and Avalanche.

Wagner, 33, an 11-year veteran, has played two games this season in his second stint with Colorado. He was fifth-round draft pick of Anaheim in 2010 and has 65 points (38 goals, 27 assists) in 375 games with the Ducks (2014-16, 2017-18), Avalanche (2015-16, 2023-present), New York Islanders (2017-18), Boston Bruins (2018-23).
