The likely last leg of Mats Zuccarello’s stint on Broadway is getting off on the wrong foot.
For when the Blueshirts resume their schedule Tuesday night when the Flyers come to the Garden, the popular winger will be sidelined with a left foot infection that manifested itself during the combined bye/All-Star break that began after the club’s 3-2 victory in Boston on Jan. 19.
Zuccarello, a pending free agent expected to be traded by the Feb. 25 deadline, is receiving antibiotics to treat the infection and may be available for Thursday night’s contest in New Jersey. The Norwegian, who has not skated since that victory over the Bruins, entered the break on a five-game scoring streak in which he recorded nine (4 goals, 5 assists) points.
