Jason Zucker’s sleep pattern was the subject of intense speculation last month.
The Minnesota Wild forward is happy to report he’s been getting enough Zs lately.
“My wife’s doing a great job making sure I get plenty of sleep,” he said with a laugh before Thursday’s game against his hometown Golden Knights.
Zucker and his wife, Carly, had their first son, Hendrix, on Oct. 27 while the Wild were in the middle of a six-game homestand. Zucker then went scoreless in the Wild’s next four games.
That sent the Twitterverse into a frenzy, as fans theorized the reason for Zucker’s drought was a lack of sleep due to having a newborn in the house.
