Summary
- Zuccarello out due to elbow to head from Tyler Myers.
- Trenin injured by a check from Colin Blackwell.
- Lineup changes expected with Brink and Sturm potentially playing.
Mats Zuccarello and Yakov Trenin will not play in Game 3 of the Minnesota Wild's first-round playoff series against the Dallas Stars. Zuccarello, who provided three assists in Game 1, is missing his second consecutive game after sustaining the effects of an elbow to the head from Stars defenseman Tyler Myers. The incident occurred early in Saturday's game.
Trenin was injured late in the first period of Monday night's Game 2. He received a check from Colin Blackwell as he was taking a pass from Zach Bogosian. Bogosian expressed regret over the pass that led to Trenin's injury.
Bobby Brink is anticipated to replace Zuccarello on the top line alongside Kirill Kaprizov and Ryan Hartman. Vladimir Tarasenko, who played on the top line in Game 2, is expected to return to the third line. Nico Sturm is likely to make his series debut on the fourth line.
