Rangers Place Vincent Trocheck on LTIR, Recall Scott Morrow as Blue Line Depth Wavers

The designation triggers a minimum 10-game, 24-day absence, with Nov. 1 as the earliest return.

Overview

  • Trocheck suffered an upper-body injury on Oct. 9 in Buffalo and exited after 7:48 of ice time with one assist.
  • The LTIR move is retroactive to his first missed game on Oct. 11, making him ineligible for at least 10 games and 24 days.
  • New York recalled defenseman Scott Morrow from AHL Hartford to bolster depth after placing Trocheck on LTIR.
  • Will Borgen missed practice with a lower-body issue and is being evaluated, while Carson Soucy remains on injured reserve.
  • Cap constraints and a full 23-man roster necessitated LTIR to create space for the recall as the 2-3-0 Rangers search for scoring after three straight home shutouts.
