23 October 2022 at 09:20 New Wild loss – Zuccarello hopes the bottom has been reached The ice hockey team Minnesota Wild has only one win in the first five games in the NHL. Mats Zuccarello is praying that the worst phase of the season is already over. The Minnesota Wild have conceded a whopping 27 goals so far this autumn. In the NHL, only the Los Angeles Kings have had more behinds than Zuccarello’s team so far this autumn. – We have been too bad in our own zone. We concede too many goals. We work on that every day to improve. It hasn’t fully settled yet, says Zuccarello to NTB. He is already up to four goals and six assists this season. – We are not satisfied with the start, but it goes up and down in a season. So we can hope that this is the worst period of the season. There are still 77 games left in the regular season, but Zuccarello warns that the team cannot afford to end up too far down the table if they are to reach the goal of a play-off place next spring. – Things go fast in that league here, and if you lose a few games, you are suddenly far behind. So it is important not to lose too many. There are too good teams to play halfway hockey. You have to give 100 percent all the time, he says. (NTB)
