According to Norwegian newspaper Verdens
Gang, the reason that Mats Zuccarello did not play on Sunday was because of
a concussion sustained on the vicious hit from Adam Mair Saturday night. Mair was suspended four games for the hit
that knocked Zuccarello out of action.
Concussions are going to happen and Zuccarello said he expects to be at
practice today, but as we have seen with Marc Staal they can be very
unpredictable and hopefully they will be cautious with Zuccarello in not
letting him rush back to action.
