Mats Zuccarello Stats

Minnesota Wild winger Mats Zuccarello has signed a two-year, $8.25M contract extension ($4.125M per year) with the club. The extension will kick in next year, so he is signed through 2025-26. The 36-year-old has put up the best two seasons of his career in the last two years and appears to be on track to repeat that success as he will once again be stapled to Kirill Kaprizov, both at five-on-five and on the powerplay. The veteran put up 22 goals and 45 assists for 67 points in 78 games last year, and should be expected to come close to those numbers again this season, making him a good mid-round target in drafts.

Minnesota Wild right wing Mats Zuccarello (undisclosed) is questionable for Friday's Game 6 against Dallas. The 35-year-old speedster hasn't been on the ice for two days and might now also miss Friday's elimination game. Minnesota head coach Dean Evason has said that the lineup won't be certain until the warmups. The Wild are already in a rough spot and Zuccarello's absence would make things even more difficult for the team. The veteran is tied for the team lead in scoring this postseason with five points in five games.

Minnesota Wild forward Mats Zuccarello scored twice Friday against the Dallas Stars. He helped Minnesota take a 2-1 playoff series lead beating Dallas 5-1. The veteran winger has two goals and two assists in three playoff contests this year. Career-wise, Zuccarello has played in 93 playoff games logging 18 goals and 36 assists. Zuccarello's playoff experience will help provide veteran leadership on a younger Minnesota team should they progress further along in the playoffs.

Minnesota Wild forwards Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello haven't traveled with the team to Chicago and will sit out the game against the Blackhawks. The team has just lost a top-six forward in Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) and clearly doesn't want to take unnecessary risks with its two top scorers. Kaprizov is fresh back from a month-long absence as well, and the Wild will be extremely cautious with him, as the playoffs are just around the corner. With Kaprizov and Zuccarello out, Marcus Johansson, Frederick Gaudreau and Matthew Boldy will link up on the first line Monday, while highly-rated Marco Rossi will see NHL action for the first time since November.
