Coach Peter Laviolette said Friday that the team has decided to move in a different direction.<\/p>\n<p>Trouba has one more season remaining on the seven-year, $56 million contract ($8 million average annual value) he signed with the Rangers as a restricted free agent on July 19, 2019, after he was traded from Winnipeg Jets.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers recalled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/victor-mancini-8483768\" title=\"Victor Mancini\">Victor Mancini<\/a> from Hartford of the American Hockey League on Friday. He is expected to play against the Penguins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think our team needs a direction,\u201d Laviolette said. \u201cWe\u2019re not playing well right now. I think when you\u2019re not having the success that you want there has to be a direction that moves differently. This was the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York (13-10-1) is 1-6-0 in its past seven games, including a 5-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Monday, when Trouba played 16:45 in what could be the last of his 364 games with the Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>He played a season-low 13:37 in a 4-3 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Laviolette said he and general manager Chris Drury are \u201ctogether in our thoughts\u201d on the direction of the team and the decision being made with Trouba.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not meant to be a message (to the rest of the team),\u201d Laviolette said. \u201cI think everybody is understanding of where we\u2019ve been for the last month and how we\u2019ve played. We can\u2019t continue down that road or we\u2019ll find ourselves out of the playoffs. The best thing is we need to set a path that can move us back up in the standings and we haven\u2019t played well. I didn\u2019t view it like that, but it is a change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trouba, 30, has been the captain of the Rangers since the start of the 2022-23 season. This is his sixth season with New York after he played his first six for Winnipeg.<\/p>\n<p>He helped the Rangers reach the Eastern Conference Final twice in the past three seasons. Trouba has six points (all assists) in 24 games this season and is averaging 20:00 of ice time per game.<\/p>\n<p>New York, though, has hit hard times, going allowing 4.14 goals per game in the past seven and scoring an average of 2.14, each second-worst in the NHL in that span.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, I can\u2019t say it\u2019s not tough, especially with coming in and you\u2019re preparing for a game and you get to know about it,\u201d Rangers center <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/mika-zibanejad-8476459\" title=\"Mika Zibanejad\">Mika Zibanejad<\/a> said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what the book says about how you handle these things and what you do, but until there\u2019s more information we\u2019ve just got to try to focus on the game tonight. It\u2019s a big one for us. We need to get a win. We\u2019ll deal with that later.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/news\/jacob-trouba-scratched-future-with-new-york-unclear\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GREENBURGH, N.Y. &#8212; Jacob Trouba will not play for the New York Rangers against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday for roster management purposes, and his future with the team is &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=134170\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-134170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=134170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134170\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=134170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=134170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=134170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
