Player Notes

  • Three-point effort Sunday
    Zuccarello scored an even-strength goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-1 win over Chicago.

    Advice: The 36-year-old winger extended his point streak to nine games with the performance, a stretch in which Zuccarello has amassed three goals and 13 points. He's become a point-a-game player late in his career while skating alongside Kirill Kaprizov, and the addition of skilled rookie Marco Rossi to the unit under new bench boss John Hynes might even allow Zuccarello to find another gear.

  • Lights lamp twice in Sunday's win
    Rossi scored two goals, one the game-winner on the power play, in Sunday's 4-1 victory over Chicago.

    Advice: In a matchup of top rookies, Rossi got the better of Connor Bedard as he potted Minnesota's first two goals of the game in the first period. Rossi's eight tallies on the season is second among rookies to Bedard's 11, and new head coach John Hynes has the 22-year-old skating on the Wild's top line between Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello. Rossi's 14 points in 22 contests is already solid, but he could take his production to another level if he hangs onto that assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 am
  • Sharp in fourth win
    Fleury stopped 28 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over Chicago.

    Advice: Taylor Raddysh spoiled his shutout bid with a power-play tally midway through the third period, but Fleury's return to the win column was never in much doubt. The veteran netminder hadn't picked up a victory since Nov. 7, and he's evened his record at 4-4-2 with a 3.21 GAA and .884 save percentage. While new bench boss John Hynes has made some lineup changes, Fleury will continue to back up Filip Gustavsson in the Minnesota crease. Rotowire.com Today, 12:04 am
  • Gets little help in loss
    Mrazek made 30 saves in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.

    Advice: The veteran netminder didn't play badly -- two of Minnesota's goals came on power plays, and Mrazek held the Wild off the board in the third period to give his squad a chance to mount a comeback -- but he once again got little support. Mrazek has dropped five of his last six decisions, giving up at least three goals in each appearance while stumbling to an .863 save percentage, but Chicago appears content to keep him in the No. 1 job for now.

  • Notches two more helpers
    Trocheck logged two assists in Sunday's 6-5 win over San Jose.

    Advice: Trocheck grabbed an assist on Artemi Panarin's tally in the first period before helping Panarin finish off a hat trick with his second assist in the third. The 30-year-old Trocheck now has five points (a goal and four assists) in his last two games, as he continues to display impressive chemistry with Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere on New York's second line. Overall, Trocheck is up to six goals and 22 points through 23 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:20 pm
