Vincent is go.
The Florida Panthers received a massive jolt to their lineup in Game 5 versus the New York Islanders with Vincent Trocheck - still in recovery from an injured ankle - officially returning to the lineup.
Trocheck is expected to center the third line between Jiri Hudler and Teddy Purcell.
This keeps Nick Bjugstad with Jussi Jokinen and the red-hot Reilly Smith.
Trocheck had 25 goals and 28 assists during the regular season.
