Trouba tallied a pair of assists in Sunday's win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba has been an infrequent participant on the scoresheet lately, as he carried a four game point drought into Sunday's tilt and had been held without a point in 11 of his last 12. The defenseman has just 20 points on the season, but he is working on a career-high 140 hits.

Trouba (foot) took part in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he'll be in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Sabres, NHL.com's Joe Yerdon reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba missed practice Friday after blocking a shot with his foot in Thursday's game against the Kings, but won't be forced to miss any time with the ding. The 22-year-old defender has notched 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) while averaging 21:51 of ice time through 73 games this season, and will skate alongside Mark Stuart on the Jets' second pairing in Saturday's matchup with Buffalo.

Trouba (foot) did return to Thursday's game after blocking a shot off his foot, but did not take part in practice Friday, Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba's potential absence would cause ripples among the Jets defensive pairings and a fair number of fantasy lineups. While he hasn't been officially ruled out for the contest, he didn't skate Friday and the team recalled Brenden Kichton on emergency conditions, suggesting there's a decent possibility that will be the case. Expect the team to further update his status on game day.

Trouba exited Thursday's game after blocking a shot off his foot.

EDGE Analysis

No update on his status was offered following the contest, so it remains a bit unclear what he's dealing with. The blueliner owns just 17 points through 72 contests, but his average time on ice (21:51) mixed with the number of shots he takes (123 this season) keeps him in relatively high demand. He adds even more value in leagues that count blocked shots (158) and hits (122), so a loss for an extended period of time could have a big impact on owners as the fantasy playoffs begin.

Trouba tallied a goal on two shots, four hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba ended a four game goal scoring drought in this one. While the 22-year-old isn't exactly lighting it up on the ice every night, he does continue to be quite the bruiser, with 112 hits in 65 games this season. Still, unless he can start to be a more solid contributor all around, it's a bit hard to recommend him at this point.

Trouba (upper body) is part of the Jets' line rushes Sunday alongside Tyler Myers, indicating he should be in the lineup Sunday against the Oilers, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unless something drastically changes in the final moments before the game, the Jets will have their reliable defenseman back after just one game missed. He will get a nice matchup in his return to the ice, facing an Oilers team sixth in the league in shots allowed at 32.1 per game. Trouba averages just under two shots (107 shots in 63 games), and there's no reason he shouldn't reach that average again Sunday.

Trouba (upper body) is considered a game-time call for Sunday's contest against the Oilers, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The report also indicates that he had a good morning skate, so it sounds as though there's at least a decent chance he will dress for the evening's contest. There probably won't be another update until pregame skate, so check back later for confirmation on the blueliner's status.

Trouba (upper body) will not play Saturday but Jets coach Paul Maurice indicated that the defenseman could return against the Oilers on Sunday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba was initially tagged with an undisclosed injury, but evidently it's a minor upper-body issue. At any rate, this isn't likely to affect many fantasy owners because Trouba has his focus set on shutting down opponents and doing work away from the puck. The Michigan native has five goals and 11 assists in 63 games.

Trouba didn't participate in practice Friday, but is considered probable for Saturday's contest against the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba provides a pretty well-rounded game from a fantasy perspective. While he's notched just 16 points on the campaign, he does average nearly two shots on goal. The blueliner sees plenty of ice time (21:36 per game), and displays a willingness to sacrifice his body (101 hits, 131 blocked shots), giving him an added boost for those playing in daily contests. It sounds as though he should be available Saturday despite skipping practice, but the team also recalled another defenseman (Josh Morrisssey) from the AHL affiliate, so it may be worth monitoring the situation.

Trouba went plus-3 with a goal, an assist, and two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 hosing of the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba recorded his third multi-point outing of the season, which could open the eyes of various teams around the league ahead of the trade deadline. The 21-year-old's name has been thrown around in rumors, but in his current situation, Trouba's 16 points and 62 PIM isn't exactly fantasy gold. The potential is there, but so far, he's more valuable in reality over fantasy.
