Mats Zuccarello Records Assist In Return
6 years agoDallas Stars forward Mats Zuccarello registered a power-play assist in his team's 6-2 defeat of the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. The 31-year-old, having suffered a broken arm in his Stars debut back on Feb. 24, finished the night with the aforementioned assist and a shot on goal in 18:23 of ice time. Zuccarello jumped in on the team's second line alongside Jamie Benn and Roope Hintz and received prime minutes on the first power-play unit as well. While he did leave the game late in the third period due to injury, Stars head coach Jim Montgomery labeled it as precautionary and stated he believed the skilled forward would be fine. With a playoff spot locked up with just two games remaining, the Stars may elect to play it safe with their prized trade-deadline acquisition. We should know more when the team practices again on Wednesday.
