Zucker is not expected to have any fantasy significance.

Zucker will play with Jason Pominville and Mikael Granlund.
Zucker was recalled this morning and will get in the lineup for his second game of the season. Zucker is a fan favorite in Minnesota, so Wild fans should be excited to see him skate on the second line. The move forces, Nino Niederreiter down to the third line and Justin Fontaine to the fourth. Torrey Mitchell who appeared to be injured last night will be scratched.

The WIld have recalled Jason Zucker from Iowa (AHL).
Zucker seemed to be a shoo-in to make the roster before training camp began, but the emergence of Mikael Granlund and Nino Niederreiter cost Zucker his opening night gig because Zucker would be a waste on the fourth line. Zucker also strained his groin at an inopportune part of training camp. Zucker has tallied four goals and eight points, including three power-play goals, in 12 games with Iowa this season. Zucker played one scoreless game for the Wild earlier this season.

The Los Angeles Kings have recalled Tanner Pearson from Manchester (AHL).
Pearson, 21, made his NHL debut in Game 3 of the second round series between Los Angeles and San Jose and appears to be capable of providing value to the Kings, who selected him with the final pick of the first round of the 2012 NHL Draft. In 15 games with Manchester this season, the 6-foot, 205 pound forward has recorded 11 points (7-4=11) in 15 games while taking 52 shots.

In response to the Coyle injury, one week after Jason Zucker was the final cut in training camp, the 2010 second-round pick was recalled from AHL Iowa before even playing his first game.
Zucker, the speedster left wing, scored four goals in 20 games last season and an overtime winner in the playoffs. Coach Mike Yeo says it's too early to determine the plans going forward and the Wild felt it was time to give Zucker a shot, but my guess:

The Los Angeles Kings have sent Tanner Pearson to Manchester (AHL).
Pearson was selected with the 30th pick in the 2012 NHL Draft. He was always a good offensive player but he has turned himself into a reliable two-way forward which is why he was expected to crack the Kings opening day roster. He and Tyler Toffoli should enjoy a lot of success in the AHL and will likely find themselves in a Kings uniform at some point this year.
Zucker impressed in his first game since straining his groin in the preseason opener. He scored the shootout winner, assisted on the third-period tying goal and most impressively caught coach Mike Yeo’s eye by hustling to beat out an icing to force a late power play that extended into overtime.
“He has moments in these games where he’s able to create chances, able to draw penalties, and that’s the kind of player he is. And that’s huge,” Yeo said. “I didn’t like his first period. I thought that he got stronger in the second period and in the third period, he changed the game.”
Left wing Jason Zucker, looking to win the second-line left wing spot or third-line right wing spot in training camp, returned to practice this morning after missing the past four days with a groin injury.
Zucker said it felt "absolutely perfect" in today's practice and coach Mike Yeo said there's a very good chance he plays Monday's preseason game in Columbus. He had 50 points in 55 games in the AHL last season and four goals in 20 games with the Wild.

Schenn sat out the Flyers last game because of the flu but he will be back in the lineup tonight when the Flyers take on the Devils. Schenn is a solid defensive defenseman, so he is a much more useful hockey player than he is fantasy player.
