WINNIPEG — Sunday was not the first time Jacob Trouba had returned to Winnipeg since the Jets traded him to the Rangers in the summer of 2019. But the place still does hold a lot of memories for the Rangers’ 28-year-old defenseman.
"Obviously, the first time is a little bit more unique than the rest,’’ Trouba said at Sunday’s morning skate, before the Rangers played their first game in Winnipeg since February 2020.
