CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. -- On a team overflowing with former first-round picks, center Vincent Trocheck, a third-round pick in 2011, continues to climb the Florida Panthers depth chart thanks in large part to his knack for finding the back of the net.
Trocheck, 22, is currently second on the Panthers in goals (7) and third in points (13). He is also tied with forward Reilly Smith for the team-lead in power-play points with three.
“I wouldn’t say I’m surprised, but I wouldn’t say I expected it either,” Trocheck said of his early-season success.
