That sucks for Norway... that guy is a sparkplug. He looked like the only player trying to actually score against Canada.
Apparently injured his hand vs Austria and too swollen and painful to play today. Not a good sign that he would miss such and important game...perhaps broken finger?
Big lost for the Norweigns not that he is doing much on the scoreboard but maybe they can use it as a rallying point vs the Russians.
Check out the picture of a younger Zuccs with buddies. Looks like he has always had his trademark long hair and is that a USA flag on his shirt? Interesting.

Really hope this doesn't affect him long term.
I picked him up when he first got hot as a short term fill in and he's been huge for me in my roto league this year.
Without me, it's only "aweso".
According to @NHLinjury Zuccarello's right hand is swollen but not broken and will know the extent of the injury once he returns to NY.

Seems like a mine field for fantasy-relevant Olympians...

I hope this doesn't slow his NHL momentum. He's becoming a star

Yeah, hopefully the effects are minimal. I am counting on him in a couple of leagues.

Mats Zuccarello has a non-displaced fracture in his hand based on an MRI.
Advice: Zuccarello won't be back in New York until Friday and at that time he'll be re-evaluated by the Rangers' doctors. He sustained the injury while representing Norway in the 2014 Winter Games. He's been one of the Rangers' top forwards this season, so this is a potentially big blow to the team.

Okay I'm officially against NHL players in the Olympics - first I lose Barkov and now Zuccarello. Glad I'm not a Tavares owner. I might be encouraged to change my mind if the games were a little more exciting...
