Trouba (ankle) will be a game-time call against Chicago on Thursday, Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba last played Jan. 25 versus the Ducks, missing 20 straight games. The 23-year-old tallied 20 points in his limited outings (50) this season and should add an offensive boost to the Jets' blue line once given the green light. If the 2012 ninth-overall pick does suit up Thursday, Tucker Poolman is a near lock to be bumped from the lineup. Trouba is still listed as being on injured reserve and will need to be activate before he can return to the ice.

Trouba (ankle) is shooting for a return after Winnipeg's current six-game road trip, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Trouba's recovery is progressing and continued without a setback, it appears the original 6-to-8 week recovery timetable is still the plan. The 29-year-old's a big piece of Winnipeg's defensive corps, as he averages 22:09 of ice time and has notched 20 points (three goals, 17 assists) in 50 games during 2017-18, and should slot back into the first or second defensive pairing when he returns.

Trouba (ankle) was back on the ice working with assistant coach Todd Woodcroft on Monday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Most of the league-wide attention this week concerns the trade deadline and how it impacts the various teams involved, but rest assured, the playoff-bound Jets have a close eye on Trouba's recovery. The mobile rearguard, who has been out since Jan. 25, remains on injured reserve, but this latest development qualifies as a big step forward.

Coach Paul Maurice indicated Tuesday that he believes Trouba (ankle) will remain sidelined until mid-March, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba's was handed a 6-to-8 week timetable for return when he initially suffered the ankle injury Jan. 28. A mid-March return would fit into the early end of that spectrum and would provide a sizeable boost for the Jets and fantasy owners alike on the back end. Prior to the injury, Trouba had racked up 20 points (three goals, 17 assists) and a plus-6 rating over 50 contests this season.

Trouba (ankle) has yet to resume skating, Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba has been sidelined since mid-January, with a 6-8 week timeline to return. Considering the 2012 first-round pick is still not able to get on the ice, fantasy owners may want to plan for him to be out closer to the eight week mark. Until the defenseman is cleared to return, Ben Chiarot figures to continue deputizing on the Jets' blue line -- although Tucker Poolman could get a look or two as well.

Trouba (ankle) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

This move shouldn't come as a surprise considering Trouba is expected to miss 6-8 weeks due to his ankle ailment. The Jets will turn to Tucker Poolman to fill out the lineup until Dmitry Kulikov (upper body) is cleared to return.

Trouba suffered an ankle injury during Thursday's 4-3 shootout defeat to Anaheim, and could be out for as long as 6-to-8 weeks, Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba suffered the injury late in the overtime frame, but it's unclear what play caused the ailment for the 23-year-old. More information is expected to be released during Monday's practice session, which will likely give a more concrete time frame for his recovery. This is a huge blow for Trouba as he was developing into a workhorse in Winnipeg, averaging 22:09 of ice time in 2017-18 while pitching in 20 points (three goals, 17 assists) in 50 contests, and Tyler Myers should take his spot on the first defensive pairing.

Trouba had an assist in each of his last two games before the All-Star break. In his last 12 contests, he has eight points and 39 shots on net.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba may be doing a lot of shooting, but the puck hasn't been kind to him. The 23-year-old only has three goals in 50 games. He can chalk that up to a 2.3 shooting percentage which is the worst of his career by a decent margin. Maybe after the break Trouba's puck luck will turn around.

Trouba dished out two assists in 20:06 of ice time in Tuesday's win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets have now won three straight games and Trouba has played an important role in all of them, racking up a total of five points (one goal). The 23-year-old isn't seeing much power-play time, but he's managed to be fantasy relevant with 18 points and 30 PIM through 44 contests. Trouba's willingness to shoot the puck and the heavy minutes he logs on the top defensive pairing may make him worth a look on a surging Winnipeg squad.

Trouba tallied a goal and an assist in a 4-3 win over the Sabres on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Jets scored twice on the power play, but Trouba wasn't involved on those scores, as his came at even strength. Fantasy owners would probably like to see more man advantage production from the young blueliner, but scoring at even strength is an even more encouraging sign for Trouba. He had one even-strength point in the last 11 games coming into Friday.
