Mats Zuccarello Returns from Shoulder Injury for Preseason Finale

Mats Zuccarello (shoulder) will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Ducks. As expected, Zuccarello will be in the lineup right before the 2026-27 season opens. He produced 15 goals, 54 points, and 122 shots on net over 59 regular-season appearances for Minnesota in 2025-26. Slated for a new role with Los Angeles this year, Zuccarello is expected to occupy a top-six forward spot and see consistent time on the primary power-play unit.
