Zucker (upper body) was placed on injured reserve by the Wild on Wednesday.
Analysis:
Already expected to miss the team's upcoming two-game road trip, it's not a huge surprise the team ended up placing him on injured reserve. His next chance to return now comes March 1 against the Avalanche, but the team should continue to provide updates on his status as he draws closer to a return. Expect Chris Porter to continue drawing into the lineup in his place. While Porter did notch a point in his return to the lineup Tuesday, he provides much less fantasy upside, evidenced by the fact he saw just 8:16 of ice time.
