Trouba (lower body) is still considered week-to-week, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba, who hasn't played since March 3 versus Florida, could be available to return in early April. He has accounted for three goals, 22 points, 114 shots on net, 170 blocked shots and 164 hits in 60 games this season.

Trouba (lower body) is expected to miss the next 2-3 weeks, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba has three goals, 22 points, 52 PIM, 165 hits and 170 blocks in 60 outings in 2023-24. Chad Ruhwedel might play regularly while Trouba is unavailable due to his lower-body injury.

Trouba (lower body) will not skate Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba has played in every game besides two thus far in 2023-24. The 30-year-old will have some time to rest as the Rangers don't play until Saturday against the Blues. He has recorded three goals and 19 assists on the year while also providing a ton of physicality with 165 hits and 170 blocks.

Trouba had an assist, three shots, two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba showed off his two-way ability Wednesday, even though the physical blueliner's hit total was lighter than usual. His helper came on the second of New York's empty-netters, as Trouba moved the puck to Artemi Panarin, who lifted the puck into the vacated net from the Rangers' blue line to round out the scoring. Asked to play more of a stay-at-home role in New York, Trouba has come nowhere near his 2018-19 career high of 50 points with the Jets since joining the Rangers, and he's at 21 points through 58 games in 2023-24.

Trouba has served his two-game suspension and will be available against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba returns to action mired in an 11-game goal drought dating back to Jan. 4 versus the Blackhawks. During that stretch, the 29-year-old blueliner managed 27 shots, 25 hits and 24 blocks while averaging 21:19 of ice time. Zac Jones figures to be dropped from the lineup with Trouba back in action.

Trouba received a two-game suspension Saturday for elbowing Vegas' Pavel Dorofeyev during Friday's game.

EDGE Analysis

The late second-period incident resulted in Dorofeyev exiting the contest with an injury. Trouba will be eligible to return Feb. 7 against Tampa Bay. He has three goals, 19 points, 39 PIM, 112 hits and 142 blocks in 48 outings in 2023-24. With Trouba unavailable, Connor Mackey might draw into the lineup versus Ottawa after being recalled from AHL Hartford on Saturday.

Trouba will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Saturday for elbowing the Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev (upper body) on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

No penalty was called when the incident occurred during the second period, but Dorofeyev was unable to return. The NHL Department of Player Safety is expected to release its decision on any disciplinary action for Trouba prior to Saturday's game in Ottawa.

Trouba registered an assist, three hits and six blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

This was a dogged effort from Trouba, who is starting in the offensive zone just 36.7 percent of the time, a career-low mark through his 11 years of service time between the Jets and Rangers. He's added three goals and 14 assists to go along with 101 hits and 132 blocked shots through 42 games, but the Rangers no longer require his services on the power play as yet another downgrade to his fantasy prospects.

Trouba (personal) will play in St. Louis on Thursday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba missed practice Tuesday and there was some doubt that he'd be available versus the Blues, but that has been put to rest. Trouba has three goals, 13 assists, 95 hits and 123 blocked shots in 39 games this season.

Trouba was not in attendance for Tuesday's practice session due to personal reasons, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba's absence shouldn't be an immediate red flag for fantasy players, as the Rangers won't return to action until Thursday's matchup with St. Louis. Still, the Michigan native appears to have rediscovered his offensive game of late, notching a goal and two assists in his last five contests. If Trouba were to miss any time, Zac Jones would likely find himself back in the lineup.
