[The Athletic] Zuccarello played 40 minutes + scored a shootout winner with a broken arm bone

“Three days after Bill Guerin said it could be 10 days before Mats Zuccarello returned to the lineup, the Wild veteran returned to the lineup Saturday and assisted on Boldy’s second goal for 16 points in his past 16 games played. He had missed nine since being struck by a Daemon Hunt shot 4 1/2 minutes into the second period last month against the Vancouver Canucks.

Zuccarello revealed he broke a bone in the arm. That would mean Zuccarello played the final 40:31 of the game and scored the shootout winner with the injury. Asked to confirm, Zuccarello deadpanned, ‘If you asked me if I played the rest of the game and scored in the shootout, yeah, you’re right.’ Zuccarello also had seven shots.”

He’s 36 years old. Lizard brains are crazy man
