For those wondering about the Vincent Trocheck injury, the Rangers center will not return tonight with an upper body injury. Trocheck left about 13 minutes into the second period, with the Rangers ruling him out right after the puck dropped for the third period. The Rangers are thin at center as is, but luckily Mika Zibanejad will be able to take some shifts at the position, likely rotating with JT Miller and Noah Laba.
The severity of the Trocheck injury is unknown at the moment. There were no replays or anything seemingly off about his last shift. Given how early it is in the season, this may just be a precautionary move.
Trocheck leaves the game with an assist, 2 blocks, and a 7-4 record on faceoffs in 7:48 TOI.
