An Ontario Hockey League scoring champion, Trocheck might one day win an NHL scoring title as well. After all, he has always put up big numbers.

A smart, instinctive player with soft hands, Trocheck broke out as an NHL prospect and scoring threat when he scored 26 goals with 36 assists in 68 games for Saginaw of the OHL in 2010-11.

A year later he had 29 goals and 56 assists, and he won the scoring title in 2012-13 with 50 goals and 109 points in 63 games, splitting the season between Saginaw and Plymouth. The 5-foot-10, 182-pound center had 10 goals and 24 points in 15 games for Plymouth in the OHL playoffs that season.

A third-round pick (No. 64) of the Florida Panthers in the 2011 NHL Draft, he spent part of the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons with Florida. His breakthrough came the next season when the Pittsburgh native had 25 goals and 53 assists in 76 games.

His first goal came in the season opener, which was a big night for Trocheck, who also had three assists in a 7-1 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers.
