Jacob Trouba News

Trouba was given some rest the other night but will draw back in tonight vs. the Flames. Trouba has two assists in his last two games since returning from a five-game absence and has totalled 24 points (3G / 21A) in 54 games this season.

Trouba has missed the last five games but will be back in tonight in Toronto. Trouba has had a hard time with injuries this season, but has collected three goals and 19 assists (22 points) in 52 games.

Trouba is being re-evaluated for a concussion and is not going to be in the Jets lineup vs. the Kings on Tuesday. This is a terrible break for the Jets and Trouba owners, who just recently got the start defeseman back in the lineup last week. Joe Morrow will replace Trouba in the lineup tonight.

Trouba has been out since January 25th and appears to be on target for his original mid-March timeline. Trouba has picked up three goals and 17 assists (20 points) in 50 games before getting hurt and will be a huge boost for a Jets team with Stanley Cup aspirations.

Trouba suffered the ankle injury late in overtime of the Jets’ shootout loss to the Ducks before the All Star break. Trouba and Josh Morrissey have been the Jets’ go-to shutdown pairing this season so the absence of Trouba will test their blueline. With Trouba out until mid-March, Tucker Poolman is expected to be back in the Jets’ lineup on Tuesday.

Trouba will come out of the lineup tonight in Nashville and is expected to be replaced by Julian Melchiori. There’s no word how serious Trouba is, so consider him as day-to-day for now.

Trouba had a high-hit on Stone on Sunday and will miss this Tuesday’s game vs. Toronto and next Tuesday’s game vs. the Wild as a result. Stone left the game with an injury and did not return. Julian Melchiori will fill in for Trouba, unless Toby Enstrom is suddenly ready to return.

Trouba missed the morning skate for an unspecified reason, but head coach Paul Maurice said he expects Trouba to play, but he is considered a game-time decision.

Trouba was back on the ice with the Jets on Tuesday after signing a two-year deal on Monday. The blur liner skated as an extra and will be scratched on Tuesday, but head coach Paul Maurice said Trouba could play as early as Thursday.

After holding out of training camp and the first month of the season, the Jets were finally able to sign restricted free agent Jacob Trouba to a two-year deal. Trouba is regarded as one of the best young defenseman in the NHL and signing him is huge for the Jets' success in 2016-17. Trouba had 21 points (6G / 15A) in 81 games with the Jets last season.
