Per Team Press Release:

SUNRISE, Fla. - Florida Panthers President of Hockey Operations & General Manager Dale Tallon announced today that Panthers forward Vincent Trocheck underwent successful surgery to repair an ankle fracture and will be out of the lineup indefinitely.

Trocheck, 25, sustained his injury during the first period of Florida's Nov. 19 game against the Ottawa Senators.

"Vinny is a tremendous competitor and leader for our club," said Tallon. "It's never easy to see a player and person like him suffer an injury like this, but we are confident that he will make a full recovery and be back on the ice with our team this season."

Tough loss for a Panthers team which currently sits at the bottom of the Atlantic Division.
