Supplies two markers vs. Dallas Zuccarello provided two goals in Minnesota's 5-1 victory over Dallas in Game 3 on Friday.

Impact Zuccarello is up to two goals and four points in three playoff contests this year. He also contributed 22 markers and 67 points in 78 regular-season outings. Zuccarello should continue to be a key part of Minnesota's offense while serving on the first line and top power-play unit.

Earns power-play assist Zuccarello logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Stars in Game 2.

Impact Zuccarello has a helper in each of the Wild's first two playoff games, and both assists have come on the power play. The 35-year-old winger picked up 29 of his 67 points on the power play over 78 regular-season contests, so he's no stranger to making plays with the man advantage.

Impact Zuccarello helped out on Kirill Kaprizov's opening tally late in the first period. With 22 goals and 45 helpers in 78 regular-season games, Zuccarello was a bit off his pace from 2021-22 (79 points in 70 outings), but he still enjoyed the second-best season of his career. The 35-year-old remains firmly in a top-line role and should provide solid playmaking and power-play production.

Look for Zucc, who's racked up 67 points through 78 games this season, to slot back into a top-six role for Game 1 of Minnesota's first-round playoff series against the Stars or the Avalanche.
