Jason Zucker has had a week to remember. Not only was he named the NHL’s First Star of the week due to his six goals and an assist in a four-game span, Zucker also recorded his first career hat trick in the Minnesota Wild’s 3-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. The forward followed up his hat trick by scoring the only goal in Saturday’s game against the Flyers, and he now has credit for Minnesota’s last six goals.
On top of this of this insane week, Zucker has become an important player for the Wild over the last few seasons.
