Newly acquired Dallas Stars winger Mats Zuccarello is expected to miss at least four weeks after suffering an injury while blocking a shot in his debut on Sunday.
Zuccarello, a longtime fan-favorite for the New York Rangers, was acquired by the Stars on Saturday. He left New York at 5 a.m. on Sunday and joined the Stars for a Sunday afternoon game in Chicago.
The 31-year-old Norweigan impressed early, scoring a goal and an assist by early in the second period as Dallas built a 3-0 lead. However, in the waning seconds of the second period, Zuccarello blocked a slap shot from Chicago defenseman Connor Murphy.
