8 Jacob Trouba D

Trouba (upper body) likely would have been an option during the playoffs if the Rangers had qualified. The defenseman told reporters "I think I'm pretty much back to normal. My head is fine. There's another little injury that's lurking a little bit, but it should be fine in a week or two," Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Trouba missed the last 10 games of the season due to his upper-body issue but will be ready to go for the upcoming campaign. Prior to getting hurt, the 26-year-old Michigan native recorded two goals on 70 shots and 10 assists in 38 contests but should be capable of getting back over the 20-point threshold next year.

Trouba (upper body) will not play again this season, the team announced Tuesday.

Trouba has been sidelined for the last seven contests due to his upper-body issue. With the Rangers eliminated from playoff contention, there is no reason to re-insert Trouba into the lineup unless absolutely necessary. Youngsters Zachary Jones and Tarmo Reunanen should get some more opportunities down the stretch with Trouba and Ryan Lindgren (upper body) unavailable.

Trouba (upper body) will remain sidelined Monday against the Capitals.

Trouba hasn't played since being hit up high by the Islanders' Matt Martin on April 20. New York will also be without Chris Kreider (lower body), Ryan Lindgren (upper body) and Brett Howden (foot), so the Rangers' depth will be tested in what was already a daunting matchup against a Capitals team that's in contention for the East Division crown.

Trouba (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Buffalo, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Trouba will miss a fourth straight game Tuesday and at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to return. Either way, the 27-year-old blueliner has only notched 12 points through 38 games this season, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.

Trouba (upper body) won't suit up in Sunday's game against Buffalo, Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic reports.

Trouba will miss his third consecutive game, as he's still deemed day-to-day while progressing from the injury. The 27-year-old has supplied 12 points, 111 hits, 84 shots and a plus-3 rating in 38 games this season. With Trouba out again, expect rookie Zachary Jones to stay in the lineup for Sunday's game.

Trouba (upper body) won't play Friday versus Philadelphia, Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic reports.

Trouba will miss a second straight contest Friday, but he's still considered day-to-day with his upper-body injury, which suggests he could be ready to return sooner rather than later. Rookie defenseman Zachary Jones will likely continue to skate on the Rangers' third pairing until Trouba's ready to rock.

Trouba (upper body) won't be available for Thursday's game versus the Flyers, NHL.com reports.

With Trouba day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Zachary Jones will draw into the lineup and make his NHL debut Thursday. Trouba will be reevaluated ahead of Friday's rematch with Philadelphia.

Trouba, who left Tuesday's matchup with the Flyers due to an upper-body issue, is considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's clash with Philadelphia.

While not officially ruled out, Trouba should probably be considered questionable at best versus the Flyers. If the 27-year-old blueliner is unable to play, youngster Zachary Jones appears to be in line to suit up for the Rangers on Thursday.

Trouba won't return to Tuesday's game against the Islanders due to an upper-body injury.

Trouba suffered this injury on a hit from Matt Martin in the first period. It's unclear how serious this injury is, but Trouba should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Flyers for the time being. If he's unable to play, Libor Hajek will likely re-enter the lineup.

Trouba dished out a pair of assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Penguins.

Trouba was one of nine Rangers to produce multiple points in the high-scoring win. He's a fixture on New York's little-used and largely ineffective second power-play unit, but the assist on Kaapo Kakko's third-period power-play goal was Trouba's first point with the extra man this season. Trouba has 10 points in 30 games.

Trouba collected a goal and an assist with two shots and two blocks in Wednesday's 9-0 win over the Flyers. He also posted a plus-4 rating.

Trouba's one-timer from the slot 7:30 into the second period gave the Rangers a 5-0 lead and chased Philadelphia starter Brian Elliott from the game. It was the first goal in 20 games this season for the veteran defenseman, who scored seven times in 70 contests a year ago.

Trouba (thumb) notched an assist and played 21:32 in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.

Trouba immediately resumed top-four usage in his return from a broken thumb. The 27-year-old blueliner missed eight games with the injury. He had struggled before he got hurt, picking up just three assists in 14 games, so fantasy managers will hope he's able to generate more offense now that he's healthy. The Michigan native has added 49 hits, 33 blocked shots, 28 shots on net and 14 PIM in 15 appearances.

Trouba (thumb) was activated from injured reserve and will return to the lineup for Sunday's contest against Pittsburgh, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

Trouba will return from an eight-game absence after breaking his thumb last month. The 27-year-old has just three assists through 14 games so far this season. He should return to a top-four role and average over 20 minutes of ice time.

Head coach David Quinn said Saturday that he'd be "stunned" if Trouba (thumb) doesn't play on the team's four-game road trip to Pittsburgh and Boston, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

With that being said, Trouba could play Sunday against the Penguins, but it seems unlikely at this point. However, the 27-year-old should be back in action at some point this week, and he'll draw into one of the top two pairings once he's ready. Prior to this injury, Trouba averaged 21:40 of ice time per contest, dishing out three assists and 48 hits over 14 games.

Trouba (thumb) is on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

Trouba is expected to be sidelined until mid-March at a minimum with his broken thumb, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 26-year-old blueliner picked up three assists through the first 14 games of the campaign before suffering his long-term injury.

Trouba sustained a broken thumb, which is the reason for his 4-6 week absence, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Trouba was off to a slow start to the year with just three helpers in 14 games. Combined with his injury absence, the 26-year-old defenseman is unlikely to reach the 20-point threshold this season.

Trouba is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury.

With Trouba dealing with a long-term injury, Anthony Bitetto could be tasked with taking on an expanded role for the foreseeable future. Given the expected length of Trouba's absence, expect him to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days. The 26-year-old blueliner has picked up three helpers through 14 games this campaign.

Trouba (upper body) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game versus the Devils.

Trouba logged four shots on net and four blocked shots across 13:11 of ice time before departing in the second period. K'Andre Miller (upper body) didn't suit up for Tuesday's game, so the Rangers will hope for quick returns from both defensemen.

Trouba notched an assist, six shots, six hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.

Trouba made his presence felt in a number of ways, but the spirited effort didn't keep the Rangers' season going. It was the defenseman's first point in three games during the series. Trouba had 27 points to go with 173 hits, 128 blocks and 168 shots on net in 70 games in his first year on Broadway.

Trouba picked up two assists in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.

He also added two shots, two hits, six PIM and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. Trouba had only one assist in his prior 12 games, so the production was a welcome sight, but he's still well off last year's scoring pace with seven goals and 26 points through 60 games.
