Minnesota Wild News

The Stars have acquired Mats Zuccarello from the Rangers for a conditional 2019 second-round pick and a conditional 2020 third-round pick.

Zuccarello had a slow start to the season, scoring just four goals with 10 assists (14 points) in his first 28 games but has collected seven goals and 16 assists (23 points) in his last 18 games. The Stars lacked some serious winger depth capable of playing in their top-6 and Zuccarello is a player capable of playing on a line with either Jamie Benn and/or Tyler Seguin.

Johansson is getting traded with his value at a season-high, having scored six goals and six assists (12 points) in his last 13 games.
