Trouba (lower body) will be back in the lineup Saturday versus the Coyotes, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba, who will return from an 11-game absence, will probably be back alongside K'Andre Miller in Saturday's contest. The 30-year-old Trouba has compiled three goals, 22 points, 114 shots on net, 170 blocked shots and 164 hits in 60 games this season.

Trouba (lower body) remains a question mark heading into Saturday's matchup with Arizona. Coach Peter Laviolette told reporters, "We're still working through some things with him," Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba has been out of action for the Rangers' last 11 contests due to his lower-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the defenseman was stuck in a 23-game goal drought during which he registered six assists, 51 shots and 65 hits. With Erik Gustafsson (upper body) unavailable, Zac Jones will likely remain in the lineup if Trouba can't play.

Trouba (lower body) isn't likely to play against Colorado on Thursday, according to Jim Cerny of Forever Blueshirts.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba hasn't been in the lineup since March 4. He has three goals, 22 points, 52 PIM, 164 hits and 170 blocks in 60 outings in 2023-24. Trouba is expected to serve in a top-four capacity once he recovers, but the 30-year-old will likely have a minimal role on the power play.

Trouba (lower body) is still considered week-to-week, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba, who hasn't played since March 3 versus Florida, could be available to return in early April. He has accounted for three goals, 22 points, 114 shots on net, 170 blocked shots and 164 hits in 60 games this season.

Trouba (lower body) is expected to miss the next 2-3 weeks, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba has three goals, 22 points, 52 PIM, 165 hits and 170 blocks in 60 outings in 2023-24. Chad Ruhwedel might play regularly while Trouba is unavailable due to his lower-body injury.

Trouba (lower body) will not skate Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba has played in every game besides two thus far in 2023-24. The 30-year-old will have some time to rest as the Rangers don't play until Saturday against the Blues. He has recorded three goals and 19 assists on the year while also providing a ton of physicality with 165 hits and 170 blocks.

Trouba had an assist, three shots, two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba showed off his two-way ability Wednesday, even though the physical blueliner's hit total was lighter than usual. His helper came on the second of New York's empty-netters, as Trouba moved the puck to Artemi Panarin, who lifted the puck into the vacated net from the Rangers' blue line to round out the scoring. Asked to play more of a stay-at-home role in New York, Trouba has come nowhere near his 2018-19 career high of 50 points with the Jets since joining the Rangers, and he's at 21 points through 58 games in 2023-24.

Trouba has served his two-game suspension and will be available against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba returns to action mired in an 11-game goal drought dating back to Jan. 4 versus the Blackhawks. During that stretch, the 29-year-old blueliner managed 27 shots, 25 hits and 24 blocks while averaging 21:19 of ice time. Zac Jones figures to be dropped from the lineup with Trouba back in action.

Trouba received a two-game suspension Saturday for elbowing Vegas' Pavel Dorofeyev during Friday's game.

EDGE Analysis

The late second-period incident resulted in Dorofeyev exiting the contest with an injury. Trouba will be eligible to return Feb. 7 against Tampa Bay. He has three goals, 19 points, 39 PIM, 112 hits and 142 blocks in 48 outings in 2023-24. With Trouba unavailable, Connor Mackey might draw into the lineup versus Ottawa after being recalled from AHL Hartford on Saturday.

Trouba will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Saturday for elbowing the Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev (upper body) on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

No penalty was called when the incident occurred during the second period, but Dorofeyev was unable to return. The NHL Department of Player Safety is expected to release its decision on any disciplinary action for Trouba prior to Saturday's game in Ottawa.
