Jacob Trouba
D - New York Rangers
Next Game
Eligibility
Jacob Trouba picked up one assist in the Rangers' 7-4 win over the Canadiens Thursday night.
Fantasy Impact
Trouba has struggled to make a consistent impact in the offensive zone of late, registering points in just three of his last 10 games (three assists) for the Rangers. The 29-year-old continues to provide most of his value to fantasy managers as a hard-hitting blueline option in lineups, tallying 20 points (three goals, 17 assists) while also racking up 139 hits in 52 games so far this season.
Jacoub Trouba added four shots, three hits, and earned his thirteenth assist of the season in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran is up to 15 points in 36 games on the year, but is more useful in category leagues as he continues to be a solid producer in multiple areas of the game. If you are in a deeper category league, ensure he is not available on the waiver wire. Feel free to leave him in free agency in a shallower points league though.
Jacob Trouba added three blocked shots and scored his second goal of the season in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Fantasy Impact
Trouba is not an offensive threat these days, though he puts up respectable numbers along with multi-category production. The veteran is a good depth defender in category leagues especially, so ensure he is rostered in any league you play in.
Jacob Trouba added his fifth and sixth assists of the season as well as four shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Stars.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran defenceman continues to be a good depth defender in all formats of Fantasy hockey, particularly in category leagues. While he is not much of an offensive threat, he will not hurt you in many areas. Continue to start him in deeper leagues especially.
Jacob Trouba scored an empty net goal and added eight blocked shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Sabres.
Fantasy Impact
The captain was a category stuffer on Thursday, as that kind of two-way production goes a long way in any league. Trouba is a great D4 on any fantasy team because he offers exposure to elite talent and will contribute in multiple defensive areas. If you are in need of a defenceman and he is still available, make the pickup now.
