Trocheck, 25, sustained the ankle injury during the first period of the Panthers' Monday game against the Ottawa Senators.
"Vinny is a tremendous competitor and leader for our club," Tallon said. "It's never easy to see a player and person like him suffer an injury like this, but we are confident that he will make a full recovery and be back on the ice with our team this season."
The 5-foot-11, 186-pound native of Pittsburgh has registered 14 points over 18 games this season with the Panthers.
The 2017 NHL All-Star was originally selected by the Panthers in the third round -- 64th overall -- of the 2011 NHL Draft.
