The Winnipeg Jets will welcome defenseman Jacob Trouba back into the lineup Saturday for their contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs, head coach Paul Maurice told Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun.
Trouba has missed the last five games after suffering a concussion against the Dallas Stars on March 18 following a crushing hit by Jamie Benn.
Saturday will be just his third appearance since Jan. 25, as the concussion came just two games after the 24-year-old returned from a 20-game absence due to a lower-body injury.
In 52 games this season, Trouba has contributed three goals and 22 points.
