Wild's Jason Zucker: Returns to ice

Given how gruesome the injury looked and with Zucker needing help to leave the ice, his return after such a short period of time is surprising. Fortunately, his testing must have come back clean and the 27-year-old winger was able to shake it off. It may be worth keeping an eye out in the event something more comes of it after the game, but, for the time being, consider Zucker good to go moving forward.

Wild's Jason Zucker: Helped to locker room

Zucker wasn't able to put any weight on the leg as he left, which may indicate he's done for the evening. He's likely headed for further testing on the leg and the team should dole out more information on the 27-year-old winger ahead of Sunday's contest against the Islanders.

Wild's Jason Zucker: Hats off for second time in career

It was his second career hat trick. Zucker has six goals in his last six games and eight points in his last seven games. He has now hit the 20-goal mark in four of his last five seasons. Zucker won't come close to his outstanding 64-point season in 2017-18, but is still within range of a 45-point year. And right now, he's a hot depth play.

Wild's Jason Zucker: Extends point streak with goal

Zucker is riding a five-game point streak that has seen him score three times and added two assists. He's added eight hits in that span. With 34 points in 65 games, Zucker has needed this hot streak to regain a bit of trust from fantasy owners.

Wild's Jason Zucker: On four-game point streak

Zucker has picked up two goals and two assists in his last four games, while firing 17 shots on goal in that span. The winger has 33 points in 64 games this year, a much slower scoring pace than the 64 points he had last season. This is likely the result of his shooting percentage dropping from 14.9 to 9.0 year over year.
