Winnipeg Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba had to be helped off the ice after taking a big hit from Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn early in the third period of Sunday’s game.

Trouba went straight into the dressing room after absorbing the hit.

"Head to head contact there on the ice," Jets coach Paul Maurice said after the game, adding Trouba will be looked at Monday.

The 24-year-old has three goals and 22 points in 52 games with the Jets this season.
