In this evening's matchup with the Calgary Flames, Jacob Trouba reaffirmed his status as one of the NHL's most hardest hitters. Yet, his powerful hit came with repercussions when Flames' newcomer Jakob Pelletier was hit hard.
During the early stages of the first period, near the Flames' bench, Pelletier encountered a dangerous situation. It was then that Trouba took his chance and landed a devastating hit, causing Pelletier to fall heavily to the ice.
The collision had a major effect, leading Pelletier to quickly head to the locker room for a medical check-up. This event brings up worries, especially considering Pelletier's earlier shoulder injury issues this season. Having contributed just one assist over three matches, his potential unavailability might pose additional difficulties for the Flames' roster.
