Trouba scored his second goal of the year and added four PIM in Thursday's shootout loss to the Penguins. A nice fantasy stat line, but this was not Trouba's finest game on real ice, as he was charged with three giveaways, no takeaways and a double minor for roughing. With just three points in 14 games so far, his sophomore campaign is off to a slow start, well short of last year's pace.

Jacob Trouba suffered a neck strain during the World Championship. That's the injury that ended his stint with Team USA. He should be fine for the start of the 2014-15 campaign.

Jacob Trouba has returned home from the World Hockey Championships for "precautionary reasons." He was having a solid tournament, with two goals and an assist, in four games. Trouba was also averaging just over 23 minutes of ice time per game.

Jacob Trouba will play for Team USA at the IIHF World Hockey Championships next month. He was struck in the throat by a puck in Winnipeg's last game of the season, but he said he was fine on Sunday. Trouba led all NHL rookies in average ice time per game (22:26), while scoring 10 goals and 29 points in 65 games.

Jacob Trouba left Friday night's game in the first period after taking a Paul Byron shot to the face. There is no word as to the extent of the injury but the good news is that Trouba will have all off-season to heal up as the Jets are the first team in the NHL to complete its schedule.

Jacob Trouba netted a marker for the Jets in their 4-2 victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday night. Other than the typical mistakes of a player who is just 20 and in his first NHL season, Trouba has had a tremendous rookie season, with 10 goals, 18 assists, 43 penalty minutes and a plus-three rating. He's a unique talent and can already ably log heavy minutes as well (26:10 on Saturday). Bryan Little, Tobias Enstrom and Olli Jokinen notched the other goals. Blake Wheeler and Michael Frolik assisted twice.

Jacob Trouba got Winnipeg on the board with the opening goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to Anaheim. The Jets blew a 4-0 lead in the game before losing in the extra session. Trouba had one assist in his previous six contests. He now has nine goals and 27 points in 59 games.

Jacob Trouba has thoroughly impressed coach Paul Maurice. "It's so hard to play in the NHL as a young, first-year defenseman," Maurice said. "But then to be a catalyst for a hockey team is really unusual. He's just been great to be around and I really enjoy watching him." The 20-year-old rookie has averaged 22:09 of ice time per game and he's contributed 23 points.

Jacob Trouba earned two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Nashville. The rookie blueliner has three goals and four helpers in his last seven games. Trouba is tied with Seth Jones for third among first-year defensemen with 20 points in 38 games this season. He also leads all rookies in average ice time at 21:40 per contest.

Jacob Trouba continues to progress and is now one of the NHL's best young defensemen. He has really come into his own over the past six weeks and especially since Paul Maurice took over the team five games ago. Maurice has paired Trouba with stay-at-home Mark Stuart and the pair have complemented each other very well. In the five games that Maurice has been the Jets' bench boss, Trouba is plus nine and averaging well over 22 minutes oer game. In addition he has scored three goals and registered four points. The sky is the limit for Trouba. Grab him if you can get him for a decent price.
