Trouba was acquired by the Ducks in a trade from the New York Rangers last week in exchange for Urho Vaakanainen and a 2025 fourth-round pick. The 30-year-old Trouba was the captain of the Rangers, averaging 20:00 time-on-ice, and recording six points (0G / 6A), 68 blocks, and 39 hits in 24 games.
Trade talks have surrounded Trouba since the offseason and a deal has finally landed, sending him to the Anaheim Ducks. The 30-year-old Trouba was the captain of the Rangers, averaging 20:00 time-on-ice, and recording six points (0G / 6A), 68 blocks, and 39 hits in 24 games. Trouba will have one year remaining in his contract after the conclusion of the 2024-25 season.
The Rangers have been off since Monday and do not play again until Saturday, but Trouba is now expected to miss 2-3 weeks as he deals with a lower-body injury. In his last three games, Trouba has two points (0G / 2A), nine shots, and eight hits.
The Rangers have been off since Monday and do not play again until Saturday, so Trouba is hopeful that will be enough time to recover from his upper-body ailment that has him considered day-to-day. In his last three games, Trouba has two points (0G / 2A), nine shots, and eight hits.
Trouba will return to action on Wednesday after serving a two-game suspension. The veteran blueliner has been a multi-category force for the Rangers this season, highlighted by two points (0G / 2A), 11 shots, and nine hits in his last four games. Zac Jones will be a healthy scratch, allowing Trouba to re-enter the lineup.
Trouba did not participate in practice on Tuesday or Wednesday as he was expecting the birth of his child but will play on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. The 29-year-old Trouba has been an effective producer for the Rangers lately, scoring three points (1G / 2A), registering 19 hits, and 18 shots in his last five games.
Trouba did not participate in practice on Tuesday or Wednesday due to personal reasons but will likely play on the Rangers' upcoming two-game road trip. The 29-year-old Trouba has been an effective producer for the Rangers lately, scoring three points (1G / 2A), registering 19 hits, and 18 shots in his last five games.
Trouba suffered the injury after he appeared to take an inadvertent elbow to head from Tom Wilson as the former drove toward the Rangers' net. We should expect to receive an update on Trouba's injury and a possible timeline to his return in the coming days. The Rangers' captain has two goals and eleven assists in 32 games this season.
Trouba scratched on Wednesday but was back on the ice for Friday's morning skate and is expected to play on Friday. Trouba has picked up 15 points (3G / 12A) in 27 his last 27 games.
The Rangers are eliminated from playoff contention and only have three games remaining, so Trouba will sit out for the remainder. Trouba, who has been out since April 20th, finishes the season with 12 points (2G / 10A) in 38 games.
Trouba was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Islanders in the first period and is not expected to play Thursday vs. the Flyers. Zac Jones could make his NHL debut to replace Trouba.
It's unclear when Trouba was hurt but he did block a Will Butcher shot late in the second period and did not return for the third. This is a huge blow for Rangers, who are already learning on Adam Fox as heavily as they can. Luckily K'Andre Miller was back on the ice for Wednesday's practice and could be back in on Thursday.
The Rangers acquired the RFA defenseman from the Jets for Neal Pionk and a 2019 first-round pick on June 18th and signed him through the 2025-26 season. Trouba is coming off of the best year of his career, posting 50 points (8G / 42A) in 82 games with Winnipeg. Trouba immediately becomes the Rangers best defenseman and should see more minutes than he ever saw with the Jets.
Trouba is a restricted free agent on July 1st but gives the Rangers a bonafide first-pairing defenseman, something they played the entire 2018-19 season without. After missing a combined 49 games in 2017 and 2018, Trouba appeared in all 82 games last year and set a new career-high with 50 points (8G / 42A). Trouba will log massive minutes for the Rangers next season and helps accelerate their rebuild, which was also aided by landing the No.2 overall pick in this year’s draft.
