The New York Rangers and head coach Mike Sullivan have just confirmed some massive news regarding veteran forward, as he nears a return to the lineup at some point this month.
Veteran forward Vincent Trocheck has been on long-term injured reserve for a significant period of time now, after suffering a upper-body injury. But over the last few weeks he has been progressing in the right direction of returning to the lineup, as he's officially returned to practice with the team.
Trocheck suffered the injury during the Rangers' Oct. 9 game against the Buffalo Sabres and did not return. In 7:48 of ice time, he recorded one shot and one assist on an Alexis Lafreniere goal. New York won 4-0.
However, following the Rangers practice on Thursday Nov 6th, Mike Sullivan confirmed some major news on Trocheck's return to the lineup.

Following the New York Rangers practice on Thursday morning, head coach Mike Sullivan confirmed that veteran forward Vincent Trocheck will travel with the team for their game against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.
Sullivan said that both Trocheck and Vaakanainen will make the trip to Detroit, but he said Trocheck definitely won't play. #NYR
As noted by Vince Z. Mercogliano, Trocheck will not be playing on Friday, but this certainly a major development in his return to the Rangers lineup. With that being said it's very possible that we see Trocheck return for the Rangers game at Madison Square Garden on Saturday against the New York Islanders.
