The last thing the Minnesota Wild needed was another injury to a top-six forward. After spending much of the season patching their line-up together due to various injuries, it's possible that coach John Hynes will have to find another combination after Mats Zuccarello took a huge hit in the first period against the Seattle Kraken.

With five minutes to go in the first period Zucarello is skating through the neutral zone and just after he passes the puck, Vince Dunn hits him with his shoulder. It appears that the main point of contact is with Zucarello's chest, but there may have been some contact with the head.
