Zuccarello scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders.
Zuccarello snapped a six-game goal drought with his tally early in the second period. However, the Islanders scored twice in the next 2:20 and never looked back, leaving the Wild with another loss. Zuccarello has six points over his last 10 outings, which is far from his peak performance. He's up to 18 goals, 47 points, 138 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across 64 appearances this season.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Registers helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Zuccarello logged an assist and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Zuccarello has three goals and two assists over his last eight outings. The Wild's offense has managed just 17 goals in that span, so points are hard to come by, even for a top-line winger. Zuccarello has 45 points, 130 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 59 appearances this season. While injuries, both his own and the lower-body issue that has kept Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) sidelined for the better part of two months, have taken a toll on Zuccarello's scoring output, it's also possible part of his decline is due to age, as he has played the full season at 37 years old.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Just four points in eight games
Rotowire
Zuccarello had a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over Buffalo on Saturday.
Zuccarello made it 3-0 in the second period with a snap shot in the slot. He has just four points (three goals, one assist) in his last eight games, but he does have 23 shots. Zuccarello is now 37 and has 44 points in 57 appearances (0.77 points per game) this season. Over three previous campaigns, he delivered at a 0.96 points-per-game pace. His offense should pick up slightly, but his age-related decline may have started.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Nets power-play goal
Rotowire
Zuccarello scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Zuccarello's tally at 15:22 of the third period was the game-winner. The winger has three goals and two assists over eight outings in March, though that's an improvement after he was limited to one goal in eight games in February. The 37-year-old is currently playing on the second line and first power-play unit. For the season, he has 16 goals, 42 points, 120 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 55 appearances.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Fifth point in last six games
Rotowire
Zuccarello scored a goal Tuesday, and also tallied in the shootout, in a 2-1 SO victory over the Avalanche.
Zuccarello put the Wild up 1-0 at the midpoint of the second period. He took a crisp pass from Marco Rossi and wired a quick wrister from in front. It was his fifth point, including three goals, in his last six games. Zuccarello, who is 37, hasn't really shown any effects of age, and he's put up 41 points (15 goals, 26 assists) in 52 games so far. There has been a decline in his power-play production, though. Zuke has just 11 PPP in 2024-25 after three consecutive seasons with at least 28 PPP.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: One of each Tuesday
Rotowire
Zuccarello scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
A slight dip in ice time has served Zuccarello well since he linked up with Frederick Gaudreau and Marcus Johansson on the second line. Over his last three contests, Zuccarello has four points and a plus-4 rating. The 37-year-old winger is up to 40 points, 102 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 49 appearances. It may not be the high-flying style that Zuccarello can play alongside Kirill Kaprizov (lower body), but the current situation is a fine alternative as long as Zuccarello can continue to produce offense.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Tallies assist in win
Rotowire
Zuccarello notched an assist in Sunday's 1-0 win against Boston.
Zuccarello provided a secondary helper on Frederick Gaudreau's game-winning tally in the second period. Overall, the 37-year-old Zuccarello has 25 assists, 38 points and 100 shots on net in 48 games this season. The 15-year NHL veteran has points in back-to-back games for the first time since mid-January. Although he is off the pace to match his season total of 63 points from a year ago, Zuccarello is well within striking distance of hitting the 50-point mark for the fourth year in a row. Zuccarello has decent value in all fantasy formats and will receive added opportunities in the absence of Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body).

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Ends drought with goal
Rotowire
Zuccarello scored a goal in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Zuccarello snapped an eight-game point drought with the opening goal of this contest. It's an unusual quiet stretch for the top-six winger. For the season, he's at 37 points, 100 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 47 appearances. Zuccarello was on the second line Friday, and it appears to have helped reignite his offense.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Rough stretch continues
Rotowire
Zuccarello was held pointless and recorded a single shot on goal in Thursday's 6-1 loss to Utah.
It's been a tough stretch for Zuccarello, who has not recorded a point in eight games. The dip in production is alarming considering he's played top-line minutes with the Wild's best remaining forwards, Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi. He's yet to develop the same chemistry with those two as he had with Minnesota's injured star, Kirill Kaprizov (lower body), so until Kaprizov returns to the lineup, it's tough to rely on Zuccarello right now.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Puts up power-play helper
Rotowire
Zuccarello notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
Zuccarello continues to impress in January with four goals and 10 helpers, including five power-play assists, through 13 games. The 37-year-old winger has had to play a more significant part of the offense during a couple of absences for Kirill Kaprizov (lower body), who is unlikely to play again before late February. Zuccarello is now at 12 goals, 24 helpers, 10 power-play points, 83 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 38 appearances in a top-line role.

Rotowire
Zuccarello scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Flames.
Zuccarello set up Joel Eriksson Ek in the first period and then scored a goal of his own in the final minute, but the Wild's late comeback push fell short. This was Zuccarello's first goal since Jan. 11, though he has earned five multi-point efforts over 11 contests this month.

Rotowire
Zuccarello posted a power-play assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Predators.
This is the first time Zuccarello has logged exactly one point in a game in January -- he opened the month with four multi-point efforts and three scoreless outings over seven contests.

Still, he has 11 goals, 22 helpers, 67 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 33 appearances in a top-six role.

Zuccarello is up to a fantastic 11 goals, 19 helpers, 60 shots on net and a plus-9 rating through 30 appearances this season.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Zuccarello didn't participate in Monday's practice session due to an illness, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Zuccarello missed nearly a month between mid-November and mid-December due to a lower-body injury, but he's appeared in each of the Wild's last 11 games. He's been hot recently, posting two multi-point performances over his last three outings, but his illness puts his status for Tuesday's home game against the Blues into question. If the 37-year-old is unavailable against St. Louis, the Wild could need to call up another forward since Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and Jakub Lauko (lower body) remain on injured reserve.

Zuccarello has 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) and 48 shots in 25 outings this season. At 37, the wheels will come off his game at some point, but it doesn't look like it'll be in 2024-25.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Garners helper
Rotowire
Zuccarello posted an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars.

The winger set up Jonas Brodin's tally in the third period that sparked the Wild's rally. Zuccarello is up to 20 points, 44 shots on net and a plus-8 rating through 23 appearances, but his offense may suffer if Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) misses more time after being unavailable Friday.
