Rangers’ Jacob Trouba has been struggling. How much of a risk is he vs. the Panthers?

New York Times  

When the Carolina Hurricanes tried to storm back in Round 2, the New York Rangers started to look exposed. Game 5 wasn’t much kinder to Trouba: a minus-13 shot attempt difference, sub-26 percent expected goals rate and minus-1 goal differential at five-on-five. On paper, a player with a 47 percent expected goals rate through 10 playoff games doesn’t exactly raise any red flags on the second pair. Trouba and Gustafsson, on the other hand, with eased matchups against Hendrix Lapierre’s and Nic Dowd’s lines, earned 63 percent of the expected goals share and outscored opponents 2-0. To Miller and Trouba’s credit, despite facing a heavy dose of Aho’s line, the Rangers were the better team in Game 6 with that pair on in shot volume and quality and had the scoring to show for it.
