Mats Zuccarello Slated to Return from Injured Reserve Tuesday

Forward Mats Zuccarello (upper body) is expected to return for Tuesday's home game against the Predators and will likely be activated from injured reserve to rejoin the top six. The 39-year-old winger returns ahead of schedule after missing nine of the team's last 12 games. Prior to his IR stint, Zuccarello recorded one assist, a plus-1 rating, and four shots on net across six appearances this season.
