J.T. Miller, Vincent Trocheck Set To Anchor Botton-Six For Team USA

Two Rangers centers will play important roles at the 4-Nations Face-Off.

J.T. Miller and Vincent Trocheck are in line to play prominent roles for Team USA at the 4-Nations Face-Off.

During Team USA’s first practice, Miller centered the third line while Trocheck served as the center on the fourth line.

Miller is expected to play on a line with Brady Tkachuk and Matt Boldy. Trocheck practiced on a line alongside Brock Nelson and Dylan Larkin/Chris Kreider.

Miller and Trocheck currently serve as the New York Rangers’ top two centers as they both add an offensive and defensive spark, making them reliable two-way forwards.

In 45 games this season, Miller has recorded 11 goals, 28 assists and 39 points in 45 games.

Meanwhile, Trocheck has tallied 17 goals, 20 assists and 37 points in 55 games.
