Trouba will not play Tuesday night against the Canadiens, Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV reports.
EDGE Analysis
The mobile two-way defenseman returned from a concussion Saturday, and while there's been no word of a setback, coach Paul Maurice said he wants to rest any player who's less than 100 percent ahead of the upcoming contest -- so out goes Trouba. Maurice added that the 24-year-old should be able to play Thursday against the Flames, though.

Trouba (concussion) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Maple Leafs, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trouba's return is a major boon for a Jets club that has been without his services for all but two games since Jan. 25. He will reportedly pair with Josh Morrisey in his return to the lineup and should retake his spot on the power play. Trouba will knock off some rust as the regular season winds down in preparation for the postseason.

Coach Paul Maurice wouldn't rule out the possibility that Trouba (concussion) plays in Saturday's matchup with Toronto, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Trouba won't be in the lineup versus Chicago on Thursday, fantasy owners can take heart that there is light at the end of the tunnel regarding his four-game absence. The blueliner has logged just two games since Jan. 25 due to various injuries, but should provide a defensive boost to the Jets once given the all-clear. Tucker Poolman figures to be the odd man out once Trouba is ready to return.

Trouba (concussion) has been given the all-clear to take contact in practice, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Paul Maurice was adamant that Trouba won't play until he is back to 100 percent. The blueliner will probably need a few practice sessions to see how he responds to contact before he returns to game action. Tucker Poolman and Joe Morrow should continue to fill out the lineup until Trouba is given the green light.

Trouba (concussion) took part in practice Saturday wearing a non-contact jersey, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even though he still needs to be cleared for contact before being eligible to return, Trouba's presence at practice Saturday still marks a step int he right direction. More information on his timeline for return should surface once he's cleared for contact.

Trouba was officially diagnosed with a concussion and will be sidelined indefinitely, Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg reports.
EDGE Analysis
When Trouba returns to the lineup is up in the air, but it certainly won't be Tuesday versus Los Angeles. The defenseman has been snakebit by injuries this season, as he previously missed 20 games due to an ankle issue. Joe Morrow will get the first crack at replacing Trouba on the blue line, but don't be surprised to see Tucker Poolman get a look as well.

Trouba is seeing a some specialists after being placed in the concussion protocol, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
While coach Paul Maurice did say Trouba "came in feeling good," it's certainly tough news for the defenseman, as he was just two contests back following a 20-game absence. The Jets will likely turn to either Joe Morrow or youngster Tucker Poolman on the third pairing, although Morrow's experience would seem to give him the inside track. It seems unlikely Trouba will be ready in time to face the Kings on Tuesday and probably won't return until Friday's matchup with the Ducks -- at the earliest.

Trouba left Sunday's game against Dallas during the third period and won't return.
EDGE Analysis
Trouba laid a hit on Jamie Benn, but when he got up it appeared he was dealing with discomfort, and it was shortly announced he wouldn't return. This is unfortunate for Trouba who just came back from an ankle injury that sidelined him 20 games, and if he isn't able to go Tuesday against Los Angeles, Tucker Poolman figures to draw into the lineup.

Trouba notched two assists and four shots on net in a 6-2 win over the Blackhawks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
This was a big night for Trouba, as this was his first game since January 25 due to an ankle injury. He missed 20 contests, which is probably why he only played 14:47 in the game. Still, the fact the Michigan native was able to put up numbers like this after such a long absence is highly encouraging.

Trouba (ankle) was removed from the injured reserve and is expected to play Thursday against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Trouba missed 20 games with his ankle injury and hasn't seen live NHL action since Jan. 25. The 24-year-old will likely have to shake off some rust over his next few contests, but he should be trusted back in most fantasy lineups. Trouba has three goals and 20 points in 50 games played this season.
