Trocheck will miss at least two more games with an upper-body injury that popped up on Thursday. With Trocheck out, Morgan Geekie will remain in the Hurricanes' bottom-6 and PP2.

It's unclear when Trocheck got hurt but he was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will not play vs. the Predators. Trocheck, who leads the Hurricanes in goals, will obviously be a huge loss and will likely lead to more playing time for Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal. Look for Morgan Geekie to replace him in the lineup.

Quick was banged up on Saturday night and is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. With Quick out, Cal Petersen will start Monday with Troy Grosnick serving as the backup.



Shesterkin had to be helped off of the ice in the third period of the Rangers' win on Thursday but is not expected to miss a lengthy period of time. A mild groin strain was likely the best-case scenario for the young netminder, who will hand the keys to Alexandar Georgiev for at least a couple of days.
