Jacob Trouba could be out of action for as long as a month. He has a sprained neck and will have to wear a brace for at least two weeks following a self-inflicted injury when he missed a check and went face first into the boards. At least he did not break his neck, break a cheeckbone or sustain a concussion. The injury could have been much worse. Reserve Trouba immediately and look for a medium-term replacement.
