The Minnesota Wild have provided an update on injured forward Jason Zucker on Friday.
Zucker was reportedly dealing with a lower-body injury that the winger suffered in last Sunday's game against the Chicago blackhawks.
The injury wasn't originally thought of as serious, as Zucker left the game but would eventually return. Well now we know two things. 1) The injury was actually a fractured right fibula. 2) Jason Zucker is an animal to have actually played 16:33 of ice time in that game.
In a statement released by the Wild on Friday, the team announced that Zucker had undergone successful surgery to repair the fracture in his leg and that the forward is expected to miss a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks while he recovers.

Jason is in good hands as his stunning wife Carly and his three beautiful children are, no doubt, doing whatever they can to keep him comfortable while he recovers, which includes plenty of cuddles.
