Jacob Trouba is finally suiting up for the Winnipeg Jets.

The defenseman will play his first game of the season Friday night against the Colorado Avalanche, Jets head coach Paul Maurice confirmed.

Trouba demanded a trade as a restricted free agent before signing a two-year, $6-million contract with Winnipeg on Monday.

The 22-year-old missed the first 15 games of the season due to the holdout.
