Hurricanes' Vincent Trocheck: May face lengthy recovery

Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Saturday that Trocheck (upper body) will be out "longer than hoped," Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.

Brind'Amour stopped short of providing a definitive timeline, but Trocheck is expected to miss at least a week and likely more. This is a significant loss for the Central Division leaders, as Trocheck was pacing the Hurricanes in both goals (13) and points (24) through 24 games.
