Pair of Power-Play Assists From Jason Zucker Leads Wild to Win
6 years agoMinnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker set up two power-play goals, earning the primary assist on both goals, during Friday night's win over the Golden Knights. The two points snapped a five-game pointless streak for Zucker who had even struggled to put shots on net, registering only four shots across his previous three games. Zucker took a major step forward last year, racking up a career-high 64 points, but even though his shot rate has stayed remarkably similar to last season (2.7 shots per game) his point total has deflated. He can still be a useful fantasy option and was hurt by a dip in shooting percentage this season, but expectations should be set closer to this season's totals than last.
