Vincent Trocheck Injury: On long-term injured reserve

Trocheck (upper body) was put on long-term injured reserve Wednesday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Trocheck has been week-to-week since getting hurt in Thursday's game against Buffalo, and his placement on LTIR rules him out until at least Nov. 4 against Carolina. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Trocheck was playing primarily alongside Artemi Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere before the injury. With Trocheck on the shelf, Mika Zibanejad has been serving on that line.
