Video: Jacob Trouba Throws Huge Hit On Nathan MacKinnon

New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba is continuing to throw massive hits. In Wednesday night's game against the Colorado Avalanche, the 27-year-old drilled Nathan MacKinnon and the star was clearly shaken up from it. 

Although the hit wasn't dirty, Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog would stand up for his teammate and fight Trouba. One can understand why the winger opted to do this, as MacKinnon is the team's best player.

The fight between Trouba and Landeskog was also a very entertaining one, as both players threw some heavy punches in the process. Both the hit and fight can be seen in the video below.

Interestingly, the Rangers and Avalanche play each other again on December 14th, so there certainly should be some bad blood carried over from this contest. Mark your calendars for this matchup. It's going to be another entertaining one.
