The Rangers play their final game before their off week tonight and it’s possible they won’t have their captain available for that contest. The Department of Player Safety announced that defenseman Jacob Trouba will have a disciplinary hearing today by phone for an elbowing infraction on Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev last night.
The incident occurred late in the second period following a faceoff and no penalty was called on the play. Meanwhile, Dorofeyev left the game early in the third period with what head coach Bruce Cassidy called an upper-body injury. There was no further clarity on how long he might be out for. More information on that front is expected today.
Trouba has been suspended once before back in 2017 for an illegal check to the head while he was playing in Winnipeg. While enough time has elapsed that it won’t count against him from a forfeited salary standpoint if he’s suspended, it could be taken into consideration in determining how much time Trouba might miss.
always plays on the edge…
Totally agree
He’s a vicious player, its time for the league to start to write a file on him.
Finally
We beat the Rangers WITH Louis Domingue as our goalie if not for a Trouba head shot on Sid a few years back.
There’s no truth to the rumor that Trouba has borrowed Gally’s 50% off card for his own hearing. “If it worked for Gally, it’ll work for me!”
