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

Rangers' Jacob Trouba: Records plenty of PIM
Rotowire
Trouba didn't score in Monday's 2-1 win against the Coyotes, but he logged 12 PIM.
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.

Rangers' Jacob Trouba: Rewarded late for sacrificing body
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rangers' Jacob Trouba: Good to go
Rotowire
Trouba (upper body) will play Thursday versus the Blues, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
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.

Rotowire
Trouba (upper body) will accompany the Rangers to St. Louis for Thursday's game, though it's unclear if he'll play in that contest, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
The fact that Trouba is traveling is an encouraging sign that his injury isn't too severe. If he can't play Thursday, the Rangers might have to play short a man if Patrick Kane (lower body) is also out.

Rangers' Jacob Trouba: Stays hot Saturday
Rotowire
Trouba had a goal and an assist in the Rangers' 6-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
The good times continued for Trouba, who has four goals and eight points over his last eight games.

Rangers' Jacob Trouba: Two-point effort Thursday
Rotowire
Trouba scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Montreal.
Both points came in the second period and the two teams traded tallies through the first 40 minutes. Trouba had a modest three-game point streak going, and while that follows an eight-game point drought, the Rangers' recent trade additions give the team more than enough talent up front to make the veteran blueliner's spot on the second power-play unit intriguing from a fantasy perspective. Trouba has six goals and 22 points through 64 games on the season, rounding out his value with 55 PIM, 161 blocked shots, 168 shots on net and 175 hits, but he could see a boost to his offense the rest of the way.

Rangers' Jacob Trouba: Bags two apples in win
Rotowire
Trouba recorded two assists, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
Trouba has been locked in coming out of the All-Star break, as this effort comes on the heels of a dominant physical performance against the Flames on Monday, when Trouba fought twice after delivering a pair of massive clean hits. The Rangers' versatile captain showed some skill along with his physicality in this one, snapping a nine-game point drought to raise his point total to 16 through 51 games. With the offensive emergence of defense partner K'Andre Miller -- who had three assists in this one -- Trouba has settled into more of a stay-at-home role for the Rangers.

He scored the Rangers' first goal of the evening and helped set up the team's last into an empty net, giving Trouba his first power-play points of the year.

Rangers' Jacob Trouba: Finds assist in win
Rotowire
Trouba logged an assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Sharks.
Trouba's offense remains spotty -- he had a five-game point drought entering Saturday, which ended when he set up Julien Gauthier's third-period marker. The assist was Trouba's fifth of the season, and he's yet to score a goal 19 games into the season. The Rangers' captain has added 57 shots on net, 63 hits, 51 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating. Fantasy managers can appreciate his non-scoring numbers, but a bit more offense would be nice since he posted 39 points in 81 outings last season.
