Trouba had a goal and an assist in his debut, but he didn't have a point in his next seven contests and picked up a minus rating in most of those outings. He has plenty of potential but take a wait-and-see approach with him.

Jacob Trouba has received clearance to return to the lineup from a neck injury. It will be decided after Monday's morning skate if he will play against the New Jersey Devils.

"It feels good with the pain and that kind of stuff. But we have to strengthen it up because if the same thing happens again, you've got a bigger problem. So it's kind of a waiting game, making sure I get strong, doing neck exercises every day. I'm waiting until it gets strong enough and I can play confidently." He wore a no-contact jersey in the session, but he appears to be closer to a return.
