Jacob Trouba had an injury at the IIHF World Championship that caused him to miss three games, but he finished the tournament strong and helped the United States win the bronze medal. "It was definitely an adjustment from where I was," Trouba said. "I hadn't played a game in a month and a half going into that, and I had never played at that level before. The first couple games were an adjustment, and then I got a little injured there for a little bit, and then when I came back I felt fine. I felt like I could keep up and I could play how I play at that level. So it went well." He recorded a goal and two assists in seven contests, while logging 13 minutes of average ice time per game. Trouba may find himself in Winnipeg's top-six defense group next season.
