US EditionWild Place Middleton and Zuccarello on IR; Aubé-Kube and Kiersted Recalled From Iowa
Minnesota Wild placed veterans Zuccarello and Middleton on injured reserve due to upper-body injuries and recalled Aubé-Kubel and Kiersted from AHL Iowa to fill roster spots.
- On Thursday, the Minnesota Wild placed Mats Zuccarello and defenseman Jake Middleton on injured reserve and recalled winger Nicolas Aubé‑Kubel and defenseman Matt Kiersted from AHL Iowa.
- Faced with a crowded December slate, the Wild placed Zuccarello on injured reserve after he left Seattle's game following a hard open-ice check from Vince Dunn, with three games in four days and seven of next eight at home.
- Zuccarello has recorded two goals and 10 assists in 15 games, Aubé‑Kubel has 13 points in 23 Iowa Wild games and prior NHL experience, and Kiersted has three assists and 43 shots in 23 games.
- Losing Zuccarello removes a key leader and disrupts chemistry with Kirill Kaprizov, while head coach John Hynes said others must step up and started Filip Gustavsson after his 24-save Monday win.
- Having played through October without Zuccarello, the Wild won three of their first 12 games and still manage roster strain with players sidelined since Thanksgiving as Marco Rossi returned to practice Thursday.
