Two more games before the holiday break and another chance for the Wild to climb the ladder with a game against the Jets who one spot ahead of them in the Central Division standings. Zucker being out for at least 4-6 weeks after surgery on his broken leg sucks, but it will just mean more opportunity and ice time for the young players and 4th line which may not be such a bad thing afterall. Enjoy and discuss.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClusterChuck Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 It'll be interesting now to see how Zuccarello plays without Zucker since they seemed to be clicking pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Zuccarello's been Meh so far this season I do think he's been a part of us at least making passes we wouldn't have tried before.

Alexandron Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Hope we will be able to move that game in OT. For Hellebuyck we need to learn Lacrosse-style puck insertion like Svechnikov(his #2 this season) did into his net 4 days ago. He is too good goalie against us.
