Defenseman Jacob Trouba won't play for the Winnipeg Jets after being suspended two games for an illegal check to the head of Mark Stone of the Ottawa Senators in a 3-2 win on Sunday. "The bigger problem that we're dealing with right now is that we have Tyler Myers and Toby Enstrom out as well," coach Paul Maurice said. "They played together as a shutdown pair. Trouba and Josh Morrissey, a rookie, believe it or not, had taken over that role in our lineup and it's part of the reason we've played a much better brand of hockey as of late. It's a huge, huge loss for us." The Jets are one point out of the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference, currently held by the Calgary Flames. After a four-game losing streak, Winnipeg is 3-0-1 in its past four games and 5-1-1 in its past seven road games. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck will start his seventh consecutive game. "We're buying in and working a lot harder," Hellebuyck said. "We kind of got away from our style and tried to play a finesse game. It's not a finesse game at this time of year. There are times to be finesse but for the most part you have to work hard and out-work the guy across from you."
