Mats Zuccarello is expected to miss at least four weeks with an upper-body injury after blocking a shot in his debut with the Dallas Stars on Sunday, the team announced.
Zuccarello believes he suffered a broken arm on the play, he told The Athletic's Sean Shapiro.

The Stars traded a conditional second-round pick and a conditional third-round pick to the New York Rangers in exchange for the pending unrestricted free-agent forward on Saturday.
The Norwegian was already fitting in nicely in his new threads, as he picked up a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. With the Rangers, Zuccarello recorded 37 points in 46 games this season.
