Minnesota Wild News
Zuccarello (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Monday.
Zuccarello left the morning skate early and is a question mark for Monday's game, according to head coach Dean Evason. Marco Rossi was scheduled to be a healthy scratch but he would suit up if Zuccarello can't play vs. the Avalanche.
Goalie Start
Gustavsson will start Monday vs. the Avalanche.
Gustavsson draws the tough matchup of the defending Stanley Cup Champions at home Monday. Minnesota turns to their backup netminder as they continue to look for their first win of the 2022-23 season. Gustavsson will draw his first start of the season after allowing three goals on 20 shots in a relief appearance Saturday in the Wild's 7-6 loss to LA.
Goalie Start
Fleury is in the starter's crease at the Wild's morning skate.
Fleury will likely draw the start Monday as Minnesota hosts the defending Stanley Cup Champions at home. It has been a nightmarish start to 2022-23 for Fleury. After allowing seven goals on 35 shots last Thursday, he followed it up by getting pulled on four goals on 14 shots Saturday. The timing could not be worse for the 37-year-old to draw one of the tougher matchups in the NHL as he looks to return to midseason form.
Goalie Start
Fleury will start Saturday vs. the Kings.
Fleury will look to bounce back after a horrendous opening effort against the New York Rangers on Thursday where he allowed seven goals on 35 shots (.800 SV%). The 37-year-old will draw what should be a much easier matchup as he takes on the Kings at home Saturday.

Goalie Start
Fleury will start the Wild's season opener vs. the Rangers.

After being acquired by the Wild at the trade deadline in 2021-22, Fleury won nine of 11 starts while posting a .910 SV%.
The Oilers have recalled Devin Shore from Bakersfield (AHL).
Shore may end up in the Oilers lineup on opening night with both Kailer Yamamoto and Warren Foegele questionable to play. Shore registered 11 points (5G /6A) in 49 games with the Oilers last season.
