Zuccarello has 16 goals, 24 assists, 105 SOG, 16 PIMs and 16 PPP through 37 games but will be forced to miss at least the Wilds' next two games as he recovers from an upper-body injury. Minnesota has stated they have hopes he will return by next weekend's road trip.
The Minnesota Wild have recalled Zane McIntyre after it was announced Filip Gustavsson was feeling under the weather Friday. The Wilds' backup has been the better of their two goalies, with his 9-5-1 record, 2.25 GAA and .924 SV% and will hopefully not miss anytime due to illness.
Gustavsson allowed one goal on 32 shots (.969 SV%) for his seventh win in eight starts as he beat Winnipeg in his last start. The Wilds' backup netminder has been exceptional this season, leading to him stealing starts with his 8-5-1 record, 2.34 GAA and .920 SV%. He will face the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are in the middle of a four-game winning streak with a 4-1 victory over Chicago last game.
