Just two minutes into the New York Rangers’ game, Jacob Trouba and Josh Anderson wasted no time sending a message. Trouba, the Rangers’ captain, squared off with Anderson in a spirited fight, perhaps a sign of frustration as the team faced mounting pressure.

Amid a three-game losing streak and sluggish start to the season, Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury recently told all 31 other teams that a plethora of the team’s longest-tenured players are available for trade, including the 30-year-old Trouba, who is currently the team’s captain, The Post’s Mollie Walker confirmed.

Trouba on being involved in a fresh round of trade talk: "You've got to kind of block all that out and just focus on playing hockey."
