Trouba (upper body) is set to return for Friday's contest against Florida, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba has two goals, 13 points, 33 PIM, 74 hits and 103 blocks in 33 appearances this season. He exited Thursday's 5-1 win over Washington after absorbing a hit from Tom Wilson, but it seems Trouba won't miss a full game due to the injury.

Trouba (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba was injured on a hit from Tom Wilson early in the second period. The 29-year-old Trouba has four points over 12 contests in December, though his defensive play is vital to the Rangers' system. An update on his status should be available prior to Friday's game versus the Panthers.

Trouba received a $5,000 fine for high-sticking Boston's Trent Frederic in Saturday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba is no stranger to walking a fine line with his play, but he crossed it with his actions Saturday. The 29-year-old defenseman was not penalized during the game, but he added an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in a 7-4 win.

Trouba ended up with two assists in Monday's 6-3 loss against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran rearguard was the only Rangers player who posted a positive plus/minus rating, and he ended up with a team-high four shots on goal while contributing three blocked shots and a hit in his team-high 23:57 of ice time. After managing just one goal and three points in nine October games, Trouba has posted four points (all assists) in seven November contests.

Trouba had an assist in Monday's 3-2 overtime win against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran rearguard appeared to be excited to play in his old stomping grounds, as he played his first six NHL seasons in Winnipeg from 2013-19. Trouba ended up with a plus-1 rating with four blocked shots and a hit in his 23:54 of ice time. He and the Rangers are back at it Thursday against the Hurricanes.

Trouba logged an assist, two PIM, three hits and four blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba took a hard shot that leaked through Philipp Grubauer, allowing Kaapo Kakko a tap-in at the goal line in the second period. This was Trouba's first point since Opening Night. The 29-year-old blueliner has a goal, an assist, 10 shots on net, 16 PIM, nine hits and 21 blocked shots through five appearances. He's a lock to stay in the Rangers' top four as one of the elite physical players in the NHL.

Trouba didn't score in Monday's 2-1 win against the Coyotes, but he logged 12 PIM.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran defenseman and irritant was good for a plus-1 rating, three shots on goal and three blocked shots. Trouba was also involved in a late-game fracas, picking up a roughing penalty and a game misconduct. For the 11th consecutive NHL season, Trouba is out of the running for the Lady Byng Trophy, though he should continue to be an effective source of hits, blocks and PIM in fantasy.

Trouba scored an empty-net goal on his only shot to go with eight blocked shots and one hit in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers' captain led by example in the team's first official game with coach Peter Laviolette behind the bench. Trouba constantly put his body on the line to help stifle Buffalo's dangerous offense. His efforts were rewarded with a lucky bounce late in the third period, as Trouba's clearing attempt from his own zone found Buffalo's empty net to round out the scoring with 1:29 remaining.

Trouba (upper body) will play Thursday versus the Blues, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba left Wednesday's game versus the Lightning early. He's since been able to shake off the injury, so he can be expected to take on his usual top-four role. With Patrick Kane (lower body) still out, the Rangers will dress seven defensemen, which should further ease the burden on Trouba.

Trouba (upper body) is considered questionable for Thursday's contest against St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba sustained the injury during the first period of Wednesday's game and logged just 2:41 of ice time as a result. He has eight goals, 30 points, 59 PIM, 210 hits and 188 blocks in 78 appearances this season. If he plays Thursday, it will likely be on a pairing with K'Andre Miller.
