"Kind of tried going stick on puck when he was gonna shoot," Trouba said. "My stick kind of went in between his legs and knd of hit his thigh, kind of pushed my arm up. Kind of a fluky play, wasn't massively hard contact. Unfortunately, you don't ever want to see a guy get hurt. I don't know exactly what the injury is, but hopefully he's better soon."
He's well aware that he'll face a hostile Pens team tonight, but don't expect him to be bothered.
«It's OK, It won't be the first time.»
While Trouba has expressed his thoughts on the play, Kevin Bieksa, a former NHL defenseman and current analyst stating that there will be no further punishment.
"I think when you're throwing a head shot, if you're throwing it with your stick hand it's impossible," Bieksa said. "It would be with the other hand for Trouba. He's going stick on puck like you showed, and then it's just a bit of a bring his arm in as Crosby is turning. I think there's no suspension."
