Delivers helper in win Zuccarello logged an assist in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

Impact Head coach John Hynes made his first bold move in his new role, splitting up Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov at even strength. It worked this time, with Zuccarello getting back on the scoresheet after a two-game slump following his 10-game, 14-point streak. The 36-year-old winger has six goals, 22 assists, 68 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 26 contests overall. He remains on the first power-play unit, so a short-term change at even strength is unlikely to have a significant negative impact on his offense.

Earns 600th career point Zuccarello posted an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact Zuccarello helped out on Kirill Kaprizov's second-period tally. The assist was Zuccarello's 600th career point, a milestone he achieved in game No. 789. The veteran winger got there on a heater with three goals and 11 assists during his active 10-game point streak. For the season, he's produced 27 points (13 on the power play), 65 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 23 appearances. Zuccarello and Kaprizov continue to work as a formidable top-line winger duo, with Marco Rossi currently down the middle between them.

Three-point effort Sunday Zuccarello scored an even-strength goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-1 win over Chicago.

Impact The 36-year-old winger extended his point streak to nine games with the performance, a stretch in which Zuccarello has amassed three goals and 13 points. He's become a point-a-game player late in his career while skating alongside Kirill Kaprizov, and the addition of skilled rookie Marco Rossi to the unit under new bench boss John Hynes might even allow Zuccarello to find another gear.

Slides power-play assist Zuccarello notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Zuccarello is riding a five-game point streak with two goals and five assists in that span. Four of those seven points have come on the power play as the winger continues to be an effective playmaker in the offensive zone. He's up to 20 points (10 on the power play), 52 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 18 appearances.

Two helpers in Buffalo Zuccarello picked up two power-play assists in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

Impact He had a hand in setting up a Kirill Kaprizov strike in the first period and a Joel Eriksson Ek tally in the third, but it was all the offense the Wild could muster. Zuccarello is surging again to begin November, racking up a goal and six points in the last five games, and on the season the 36-year-old has three goals and 15 points in 14 contests, with eight of the helpers coming on the power play.

Impact Zuccarello would even the score at 3-3 in the third period by beating Jonathan Quick with a tip in front. He would also pick up an assist on Ryan Hartman's goal as well. This now marks back-to-back games that Zuccarello has recorded a point after going the previous three games without a point. He should continue to play on the second line and second power-play unit.

NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up two more points Zuccarello registered a goal with an assist in Tuesday's 7-4 win against the Oilers.

Impact Zuccarrello finished with a plus-2 rating, four shots on goal and a blocked shot in 14:55 of ice time. The Norwegian-born forward has fired out of the gates with a six-game point streak to start the season, posting two goals and nine points, including four power-play assists. He has goals in each of the past two games and will look to continue his streaks Thursday in Philadelphia.

The 36-year-old winger now has five helpers in three games to begin the season -- four of them coming with the man advantage -- and after amassing 16 goals and 57 points on the power play over the prior two campaigns, he's showing no signs of slowing down in 2023-24.

Expected to play Friday Zuccarello (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play Friday against Dallas, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Zuccarello missed some practice sessions but he'll be in his usual top-line role for Game 6 on Friday. He has two goals and five points in five appearances this postseason.

Questionable Friday Zuccarello (undisclosed) is questionable for Game 6 on Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Zuccarello logged 18:43 of ice time Tuesday, but he hasn't skated for the last two days. Minnesota coach Dean Evason said that the lineup won't be certain until the pregame warmups. Zuccarello has two goals and five points in five playoff games this year. Losing him would be a major blow, especially as the Wild attempt to stave off elimination.
