The New York Rangers ruled out defenseman Jacob Trouba for the remainder of Tuesday's game against the New York Islanders with an upper-body injury, the team announced.
Trouba got hit hard into the boards by Islanders forward Matt Martin. The Rangers blue-liner was visibly shaken up after the collision.
