Trocheck is expected to serve as a healthy scratch Tuesday against the Capitals, Harvey Fialkov of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

The returns of Aleksander Barkov (hand) and Scottie Upshall (ankle) from injured reserve will result in Trochek and Brandon Pirri being sent to the press box. Trocheck has enjoyed a mostly productive stint in Florida, with 11 points and a plus-4 rating over 19 games, but his lukewarm performance over the weekend against the Sabres (minus-3, no shot attempts) will result in him sitting out Tuesday.
