It seems like Jason Zucker could be poised to return to the Penguins lineup tonight — in what would be his first return game back in Minnesota since being traded by the Wild.
Zucker, who was dealt from Minnesota to Pittsburgh in 2020, has yet to play back in the North Star State, as the league didn’t have intraconference play amid the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of the 2019-20 season or during the 2020-21 season at all.
The Pens’ last road trip to Minnesota was in 2019, and things are quite different now than they were then.
