Jacob Trouba News: Opens scoring Sunday

Trouba scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Trouba ended a six-game point drought with the tally. He had posted just one assist and a minus-6 rating across his previous 11 appearances, as his early-season offense has faded even though he remains firmly in a top-four role. For the year, the hard-hitting blueliner is up to five goals, 14 points, 48 shots on net, 62 hits, 52 blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-11 rating over 29 outings.
