The NHL Jacob Trouba Recovering After Scary Injury Winnipeg Jets defenseman and former Wolverine icer Jacob Trouba had to leave an Oct. 18 game versus St. Louis on a stretcher after crashing into the boards. The rookie got his skate tangled and went headfirst into a partition, tearing neck ligaments in the process. Trouba has started skating, though, and will return this year, he told globalnewsca.com. "I got lucky," Trouba said. "It could have been a lot worse. I'm pretty fortunate for what it was. I feel fine. It's fine day to day. It's stiff in the morning when I wake up. The big risk is when I can get hit. The first big hit is really going be the first test for it." He's in no rush to get back, following his doctor's advice to take it slow. Any more damage could require a spinal fusion surgery to stabilize his vertebrae, a potentially career-ending operation. "If they tear again, we've got a much bigger problem on our hands," Trouba said. "So we're just kind of playing it safe I guess." Trouba has played in eight NHL games. He's anxious to return to game action. "There's always a risk playing hockey," he said. "Why not add a little more to it?"
