• Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Scores lone goal in loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Zuccarello scored a goal on six shots and added two hits in Friday's 2-1 loss to Utah. The goal was Zuccarello's first in four games since he returned from a lower-body injury. He's added three assists in that span while immediately reclaiming a top-line role alongside Kirill Kaprizov and Marco Rossi, who assisted on his tally. Zuccarello is up to seven goals, 18 points, 37 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 20 appearances this season. Even at 37 years old, his offense remains strong, so he can help fantasy managers in need of offense, particularly assists and power-play production.

  Zuccarello recorded two assists in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights. Zuccarello has three helpers over two games since he returned from a lower-body injury. He immediately regained his top-line role and spot on the first power-play unit, and he's had no issues with rust after a 13-game absence. The 37-year-old winger is at six goals, 11 helpers, 30 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 18 appearances, serving as a strong playmaker who should play a big part in the Wild's success on offense.

Zuccarello skated on the top line with Kirill Kaprizov and Marco Rossi while working on the first power-play unit in Saturday's game.

The 37-year-old still needs to get into full-team practices, so his return is still likely to be at least a few more days away.
