Nets game-winner in overtime Zuccarello scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Zuccarello's tally came at 2:09 of overtime on a feed from Kirill Kaprizov. The 38-year-old Zuccarello has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings, showing he can still offer quality offense in a top-six role. He's up to five goals, 20 points, 50 shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 25 appearances this season, though he carries a fairly high injury risk given his age and history.

Ties game in third with goal Zuccarello scored a goal and placed two shots on net in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose.

Impact Zuccarello extended Minnesota's chances to win Wednesday's contest with an unassisted goal just under nine minutes into the final period to tie the game at three scores apiece. The goal was his second in the past three games, and both scores have helped send the Wild to an extra period or beyond. Overall, the 38-year-old winger has four goals, 17 points and 39 shots on net through 21 appearances this year. The 16-year NHL veteran is nearly a point-per-game player when healthy this season and should continue to be a steady source of offense in Minnesota's top six. He holds above-average fantasy value in most point-based formats for the foreseeable future.

Sends game to OT Zuccarello scored a goal, dished out an assist and put three shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact Zuccarello distributed the primary helper on a goal to take an early 2-1 lead before later needing to display some heroics to send the game to overtime, as he scored with 22 seconds remaining in regulation. After his multi-point night, the 38-year-old winger has three goals, 13 assists and 34 shots on net across 19 games this season. Since his return to the lineup prior to the holiday break, the 16-year NHL veteran has four points in as many games and has assumed a role on the team's top line alongside Kirill Kaprizov and Ryan Hartman. If he can stay healthy, Zuccarello is scoring at a near point-per-game pace, which makes him viable in all point-based fantasy formats.

Two helpers against Oilers Zuccarello collected two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over Edmonton.

Impact Activated from IR earlier in the day after missing five contests with an upper-body injury, Zuccarello was plugged right back in on the Wild's top line at even strength alongside Kirill Kaprizov and Ryan Hartman as well as the team's top power-play unit. The 38-year-old Zuccarello has only been healthy enough to play 16 games so far in 2025-26, but he's been productive when on the ice, delivering two goals and 14 points.

Activated from injured reserve Zuccarello (upper body) was activated from injured reserve on Saturday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Zuccarello missed five games with the injury. Zuccarello played on the top line with Kirill Kaprizov before he was hurt and should certainly be a second line player if the Wild decide to keep Matt Boldy and Kaprizov on the top unit. Zuccarello had two goals and 10 assists in 15 games before getting hurt.

Put on injured reserve Zuccarello (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Zuccarello was injured in the opening frame Monday in Seattle and did not return. The 38-year-old Norwegian had two goals and 12 points in 15 games before he was hurt. The Wild recalled Nicolas Aube-Kubel from AHL Iowa in a corresponding move.

Impact Zuccarello left Monday's 4-1 win over the Kraken in the first period after taking a big hit from Vince Dunn. The 38-year-old Zuccarello was able to get up and skate off on his own, which was encouraging when taking into account the nature of the hit. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's home game against the Stars.

Earns two points Saturday Zuccarello scored a power-play goal, added an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Zuccarello had gone seven games without a multi-point effort, and he was held off the scoresheet altogether in the previous two contests. The 38-year-old winger is up to two goals, 12 points, 27 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 14 contests overall. Zuccarello should continue to provide some playmaking-heavy offense while adding little in the way of non-scoring production as a top-six winger for the Wild.
