Stop me if you’ve heard this one before — a Minnesota Wild player is creating a ton of high-quality scoring chances, but just can’t seem to put most of those chances in the back of the net.
In fact, this could apply to almost any player on the Wild’s roster, present and past, aside from maybe, well, you know, Marian Gaborik, who is still the team’s all-time leading goal scorer a decade after he left Minnesota.
Jason Zucker is the perfect example of a player struggling to finish. He regularly creates scoring chances and odd-man rushes with his speed, but just cannot seem to bury those chances.
