BREAKING: Jacob Trouba Wrecks Rookie Forward With Massive Hit
Jacob Trouba is considered one of the most aggressive defensemen currently in the league, having gained notoriety for delivering absolutely brutal hits. However, it seems one rookie forward could not keep themselves out of his way during tonight's game.
Jacob Trouba Deals A Massive Hit To Rookie Forward
In tonight's game between the Rangers and Flames, the 29-year-old New York defenseman caught himself in a difficult situation near Calgary's bench. As it turned out, the real trouble was being faced by rookie forward Jakob Petellier. In an attempt to skate behind him, Pettelier was demolished by Trouba.
"Flames forward Jakob Pelletier has gone to the dressing room after receiving this hit from Jacob Trouba."
Pettelier In Trouble After Multiple Injuries
Though he initially seemed fine after pulling himself up to get to the dressing room, this 22-year-old Flames forward had to be pulled from the rest of the game for upper body injuries.
".@MFradiology Injury Update: Jakob Pelletier (upper body) will not return."
After suffering a shoulder injury earlier this season, Pettelier has only played three games while garnering only one assist. Now, while potentially facing more time off-ice for recovery, the thread for Pettelier to help lift his team out of the middle of the league is running thin.
