Coach David Quinn said Thursday that Trouba (upper body) is hopeful to play in Saturday's game against Florida, Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba exited Thursday's contest after the second period, and as evidenced by this news, looked to avoid a serious setback. The defenseman was reportedly seen walking around the locker room without laboring, showing no signs of injury. Look for another report on Trouba's health leading up to the game, but for now, consider the blueliner to be day-to-day.
