Vincent Trocheck could be back on skates as early as this weekend.

The Florida Panthers' dynamic secondary scorer could test out his injured ankle - beyond recently shedding his walking boot - in an on-ice workout Saturday, according to George Richards of the Miami Herald.

Scoring wasn't necessarily a concern for the Panthers in their Game 1 loss to the New York Islanders, but Trocheck will most certainly be a welcomed sight. He had a breakout season centering the second line, scoring 25 goals, totaling 53 points, and carrying a 61.3 percent goals-for percentage at even strength.

Until the Panthers say otherwise, he remains doubtful for the pair of games to be played at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
