The hits just keep on coming, quite literally. Jacob Trouba is now out 4-6 weeks with an upper body injury.
Trouba is the latest in a slew of injuries on the Rangers blue line. K’Andre Miller missed last night’s game, but at least he should be back for tomorrow’s game. Jack Johnson and Brendan Smith have also missed time with injuries.
Trouba had been playing pretty well this year and had clicked with Miller. This is yet another blow to a blue line using their 8th and 9th defensemen in significant roles already.
