Zucker underwent surgery on a broken right fibula and will miss six weeks.

Zucker broke his fibula last Sunday in Chicago but finished the game, logging 16:33 TOI but the broken bone was found post-game. Zucker underwent surgery and is expected to be out until early-February and Zach Parise is expected to continue to skate with the top-line moving forward.

Zucker (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.

Zucker briefly left Sunday's game in Chicago but returned and finished with one assist in 16:33 TOI. The injury comes at a tough time for the Wild, who were already without Mikko Koivu and Joel Eriksson Ek up front and Jared Spurgeon on the blueline. Luke Johnson is expected to make his Wild debut with Zucker out.

The loss snapped a three-game losing streak for Bishop, who enters Monday's game at 9-3-2 with a 1.74, .944 SV% and one shutout on home ice. He was yanked after allowing three goals on 15 shots in his first start vs. the Oilers (Nov.16).

The Senators have recalled Erik Brannstrom from Belleville (AHL).

Brannstrom has played every well since going to Belleville, collecting four points (1G / 3A) in four games. With Dylan DeMelo out for at least a few weeks, the Senators really didn't have a choice but to recall Brannstrom at this time. He has just two assists in 23 NHL games this season.

Bishop will start Friday vs. the Golden Knights.

Bishop stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Stars' shutout win over the Devils on Tuesday. Bishop has not allowed more than two goals in a game in six straight starts and currently sits third in the NHL in GAA (2.03) and SV% (.934). Bishop is outstanding and tonight the Stars host a Vegas team that has lost three of their last four and played last night in St. Louis.

Dahlin (concussion) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.

Dahlin has missed the last eight games with a concussion that he suffered on November 25th but could play Thursday vs. the Predators. Dahlin skated on the top-pair and top power-play unit in Wednesday's practice but head coach Ralph Kruger would not commit to him playing tonight.

Bishop led the Stars onto the ice for warmups.

Bishop stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Stars' win over the Islanders on Saturday. Bishop has played great as of late, winning five of his last seven and allowing more than two goals just once. Over that stretch, he has posted a 1.84 GAA and .943 SV%, which leaves him third in the NHL in GAA (2.13) and fourth in SV% (.932) on the year. He's a great option against a Devils team that has started 0-2-1 under new head coach Alain Nasreddine.

Dahlin is out indefinitely with a concussion.

Dahlin was elbowed in the head by Erik Cernak on Monday and was forced to leave the game and was immediately diagnosed with a concussion. As expected, the Sabres announced that he is out indefinitely prior to Wednesday's game, so don't expect him to play for at least the rest of this week.
