He'll continue to see time in the top six and on the first power-play unit.

Pockets helper in season debut Zuccarello registered an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.

Impact The Wild balanced ice time fairly well, with Zuccarello seeing 16:14 in a first-line role with power-play usage. The 38-year-old missed 15 contests due to a lower-body injury sustained prior to the preseason. Zuccarello was initially given a 7-8 week timeline in late September, but he was back a little earlier than expected. The winger is injury prone, and his age adds more risk, but he's productive in the Wild's top six when he is healthy.

Activated off IR Zuccarello (lower body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Friday's clash with the Islanders, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Zuccarello should be in line for a top-six role as he makes his 2025-26 season debut. In 69 games for the Wild last year, the veteran winger notched 19 goals and 35 helpers, including 16 power-play points. Even if Zuccarello doesn't miss any more games this year, he won't reach the 70-game mark for the third straight season, which could also stop him from getting over the 20-goal threshold.

Not available Thursday Zuccarello (lower body) has been ruled out of Thursday's game in Carolina, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Impact Zuccarello is a good possibility to return to the lineup Friday against the Islanders. The 38-year-old native of Norway will miss his 15th game of the season. He will replace Marcus Johansson on the top line, alongside Kirill Kaprizov and Marco Rossi on Friday, if he is cleared to play.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Considered day-to-day Zuccarello (lower body) was labeled day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup with Carolina, Wild broadcaster Kevin Falness reports.

Impact Zuccarello looks poised to return from his lower-body injury after missing the first 14 games of the year. At this point, the veteran winger will likely miss the 20-goal threshold for the third straight season even if he does play Thursday. Once given the all-clear, Zuccarello figures to return to a top-six role and may link up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Could return next week Per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com, Zuccarello (lower body) could return in the next week or so, according to head coach John Hynes on Friday.

Impact Zuccarello was given a two-four week return earlier in the week, but that timetable has been moved up. Zuccarello has dealt with a back issue since training camp and has yet to play a regular-season game in 2025-26. Upon his return to the lineup, look for Zuccarello to have a spot as a top-six forward with Marcus Johansson likely moving down to the third line. The 38-year-old Zuccarello had 19 goals and 35 assists in 69 regular-season games in 2024-25.
