"From afar over the past 14 games, as he dealt with an upper-body injury, Vincent Trocheck had reminded his teammates that they were playing well and that poor puck luck was to blame for their poor home start. Obviously, these guys care a lot, Trocheck said. And we know how much the fans care and how passionate they are, so we want to win for them even more."
"Trocheck returned from long-term injured reserve for Monday's game and provided an immediate boost to the Rangers' offense. He contributed two assists, the first coming late in the first period on Vladislav Gavrikov's go-ahead goal, making a nifty backhand pass to the defenseman, who was wide open at the point. Trocheck then provided a power play assist early in the second period on Alexis Lafreniere's 3-1 goal."
