The Jets have activated Jacob Trouba (upper-body) from IR; will play tonight.

Trouba has missed the last 16 games with an upper-body injury, but will return tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. Trouba has registered 12 points (4G / 8A) with a plus-3 rating in 31 games before getting hurt. He will replace Mark Stuart in tonight’s lineup.

Jacob Trouba
Trouba (upper-body) was a full participant in Jets practice on Tuesday.

For the first time since suffering an upper-body injury back on December 13th, Trouba took line rushes in practice this morning. This is a positive sign that Trouba could be available for tomorrow’s game vs. the Blue Jackets. However, with the All Star break looming, the Jets could elect to rest Trouba for another week.

Price (upper-body) will be able to start on Tuesday vs. Nashville.

Price missed Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury, but will return to the crease tonight vs. the Predators. He allowed two goals on 16 shots in a win over the Blue Jackets in his last start. He comes in at 13-5-1 with a 2.16 GAA and .928 SV% at the Bell Centre this season.

Price (upper-body) is on the ice for Habs' practice this morning.

Price missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, but with Joey MacDonald being sent back to Hamilton (AHL) and Price's availability for practice this morning, it appears as if he will be good to go tomorrow vs. Nashville.

Carey Price
Price’s upper-body injury is not serious; no word if he will play Tuesday or in the All Star game.

Price will not dress tonight, but coach Therrien said the injury is minor. The Canadiens last game before the All Star break is Tuesday vs. the Predators, but he could no confirm whether or not Price will be available or not.

Trouba (upper-body) took part in the Jets morning skate; won’t play tonight though.

Trouba, who is supposed to be out until February, skated in a regular jersey at the Jets morning skate. Ditching the no-contact sweater is a good sign that Trouba is nearing a return and that he could be back before February.

Price gets the nod for Montreal on Wednesday.

Price stopped 35 of 37 shots in the Canadiens to the Penguins on Saturday. After winning five in a row, Price has dropped each of his last two while allowing six goals on 73 shots (.918 SV%). Tonight he will start in Columbus—Price has gone 9-5-1 with a 2.23 GAA and .928 SV% on the road this season.

Toffoli is out indefinitely with mononucleosis.

Toffoli was a late scratch from Saturday’s game vs. the Jets because of mono. There is no timetable for his return, but he is expected to miss at least two weeks. Mono can be tough, because you can lose a substantial amount of weight and strength.
