Scouting Report

Assets:	Has pretty good size and the ability to play a physical game from time to time from the back end. Can be an effective stay-at-home type, as well.
Flaws:	Doesn't have enough offensive ability to play a major role on the power play. Is an inconsistent physical player, which lessens his overall NHL value.

Player News

Davis Drewiske to play alongside Markov | 04/09/2013 8:14 AM

News

Davis Drewiske will play alongside Andrei Markov on Montreal's second pairing.

Montreal Gazette

Impact

The new Canadiens defenseman will fill in for injured blueliner Alexei Emelin, who isn't expected to play again this season. Josh Gorges and P.K. Subban will likely get the majority of the ice time for the team as the top tandem.

Davis Drewiske debuts with Canadiens | 04/04/2013 10:26 AM

News

Montreal Gazette

Kings trade Davis Drewiske to Canadiens | 04/02/2013 5:24 PM

News

Los Angeles Kings trade Davis Drewiske to Montreal Canadiens for fifth-round draft pick.

Kings on Twitter

Impact

Drewiske is a solid depth defenseman who was pushed out of the lineup by the recently acquired Robyn Regehr. He'll add some size and help fill out the Canadiens' third pairing on defense but is unlikely to rate in your fantasy league.

Davis Drewiske scores first of the season | 02/12/2013 10:50 AM

News

Defenseman Davis Drewiske scored his first goal of the season Monday in a 4-1 win over St. Louis.

LAKings.com

Impact

The goal was the first power play goal by a Los Angeles defenseman this season. Drewiske has a goal and three points in 11 games this season with a plus-two rating so he could be taken off the waiver wire in very deep leagues.
