Vincent Trocheck has been added to the All-Star Game as an injury replacement for either Jack Eichel or Connor Bedard.
Trocheck joins Igor Shesterkin as the only Rangers in the All-Star Game.
From the NHL: “Trocheck has recorded 15-29—44 in 46 GP this season for the Metropolitan Division-leading Rangers (29-15-2, 60 points), where he ranks second on the team (tied) in points and first (tied; 9) in power-play goals. Trocheck, who is on pace to set new single-season career highs for assists and points in 2023-24, recorded 1-3—4 in 1 GP for Team Atlantic during his only previous All-Star Game appearance in 2017.”
Adam Rotter: I think that Trocheck is a very deserving addition to the All-Star Game. You can argue Chris Kreider and his 21-goals or Mika Zibanejad because he is never a bad choice, but Trocheck has been dynamite all season and been in the middle of their most consistent line. Artemi Panarin is obviously more than deserving to be at the All-Star Game, but he asked not to be involved since he and his wife are expecting their second child.
