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

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.

Rotowire
Trouba notched an assist, four shots on goal, five hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Trouba has an assist in each of the last two games, marking the first time all season he's gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive outings. The defenseman added plenty of other production off the puck, though his inconsistent offense so far has diminished his fantasy value compared to last 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.

Rangers' Jacob Trouba: Lends helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Trouba notched an assist, six shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Lightning.
Trouba missed some time late in the preseason with an upper-body injury, but it hasn't carried over into the regular season. The 28-year-old was named the Rangers' captain in August. It's likely for his all-out playing style -- in addition to a career-high 39 points last season, he added 207 hits and 177 blocked shots. He'll carry more fantasy value in formats that reward his willingness to use his body.

Trouba missed Thursday's practice with an upper-body issue, but whatever held him off the ice evidently wasn't overly serious.

The 28-year-old blueliner has four points, 30 shots on net, 43 hits, 19 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-3 rating in 10 playoff contests.
