Analysis:

The team has not been hesitant to give Zuccarello rest days as the season has worn on, so there's no reason for concern here. Perhaps the thought process is to unravel the Norwegian Hobbit from his small two game point-scoring drought. After posting a modest 49 points through 78 regular season games, the fifth year right-winger is a plus-1 with two points in four playoff tilts.
