The Anaheim Ducks have acquired defenseman Jacob Trouba from the New York Rangers. Defenseman Urho Vaakanainen (upper body) and a conditional 2025 fourth-round pick went in the other direction. The trade was agreed only a couple of hours after the Rangers planned to keep their captain out of Friday's contest against Pittsburgh for "roster management purposes." It was speculated that the club might waive him. Anaheim took on Trouba's entire contract, which carries an $8 million average annual value through the 2025-26 season. Trouba has had a couple of tough campaigns in New York, but he now gets a fresh start and can prove his worth again. The 30-year-old has registered three assists, 46 shots, 68 blocks, and 39 hits across 24 appearances this season.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba hasn't been bothered by trade speculation that surrounded him earlier in the summer and is ready to head to battle with the team once again next season. "It's part of the business," Trouba told Peter Baugh of The Athletic. "I knew that part of my contract turned this year (to a no-trade list), and I submitted a list. That's what I did. All the other noise was pretty much noise." Trouba has two more seasons left on a large seven-year, $56 million contract. The Rangers captain struggled to be effective in 2023-24, going minus-four across 69 appearances. He averaged the second-fewest points in his career, with three goals and 19 assists. However, Trouba continued to deliver fantasy managers a good chunk of peripheral stats, finishing the campaign with 183 blocks and 191 hits.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba has avoided suspension for elbowing Florida forward Evan Rodrigues during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final on Sunday. He received a $5,000 fine for the incident, the maximum allowable under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Game 3 was a very busy day at the office for Trouba in general. He tallied two assists in the contest and blocked a game-high nine shots while amassing one shot on goal, two hits, and six penalty minutes with a minus-one rating. The hard-hitting blue-liner boasts seven points (one goal, six assists) through 13 postseason appearances and has recorded 63 blocks with 49 hits.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba (lower body) could return when the club takes on the Arizona Coyotes on the road on Saturday. The Rangers captain has missed the past 11 games due to a lower-body injury but has resumed practicing. "We're still working through some things with him," Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette said after an optional morning skate on Saturday. For the season, Trouba has recorded three goals and 22 points across 60 games but has also added 164 hits, 170 blocks, 114 shots, and 52 penalty minutes, giving fantasy managers quality cross-category production. The Rangers sit first overall in the NHL with a 49-20-4 record, one point ahead of the Dallas Stars in the race for the Presidents Trophy.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba (lower body) will be out of the lineup for 2-3 weeks, Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury announced on Friday. The 30-year-old has missed only two games so far this season, notching 22 points (three goals, 19 assists) across 60 outings with 165 hits and 170 blocks. He's one of only two players in the league with at least 150 hits and 130 blocks for the season. Erik Gustafsson will move up in the lineup to replace Trouba on the second defensive pairing in Saturday's clash with St. Louis.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba (personal) will be in the lineup Thursday against St. Louis. A question mark has been hanging over his head since Trouba missed Tuesday's practice for personal reasons, but he is now back with the team and ready to go Thursday. Trouba is the NHL's blocks leader this season, with 123 of them to his name, and he's notched 16 points (three goals, 13 assists) across 39 appearances with 73 shots on net and 95 hits.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba (upper body) left Wednesday's game against the Washington Capitals early after taking what appeared to be an inadvertent elbow to the head from Tom Wilson. The Rangers should release an update tomorrow that reveals the severity of the injury and could establish a timeline. Although the Rangers captain only has 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) in 32 games this season, he has continued to be a peripheral machine, racking up 55 shots, 74 hits, and 103 blocks. He is a must-roster player in any league that counts those stats.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba recorded a team-high six shots and had an assist in Monday's heavy 5-1 home loss against Calgary. He combined with Dryden Hunt on a Kevin Rooney goal and now has assists in back-to-back games. Trouba has never been a great source for offensive numbers, but he's a big presence on the ice and has registered 16 shots, 21 hits and 13 blocks for the season with 15 penalty minutes. The Rangers are now off until Friday when they aim to bounce back against Columbus.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba will miss his team's clash with the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old sustained the injury in Tuesday's loss to the Islanders, only skating 3:18 of ice time in the contest. It's been a trying year for Trouba in the Big Apple in 2020-2021 as the blueliner has registered just 12 points (two goals, 10 assists), a plus-three rating, 70 shots and 111 hits in 38 contests. Rookie defenseman Zac Jones will likely make his NHL debut on Thursday while replacing Trouba in the lineup.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba will be back for the New York Rangers on Sunday versus the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has been out since February 16th with a thumb injury. Trouba will be a big boost to the Rangers being slotted on the team's second defenseman pairing playing alongside K'Andre Miller. Before being hurt, Trouba was having a disappointing year with just three points in 14 Rangers contests. Fantasy managers who still have Jacob Trouba on their team have to hope he can turn his season around.
New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba (thumb) will be sidelined for the next four to six weeks with a broken thumb. The 26-year-old departed his team's 5-2 loss to the Devils and did not play in the third period on Tuesday night. Trouba has produced three assists, 14 penalty minutes, 27 shots and 48 hits while averaging 21:40 of ice time through 14 games this season.
