Jason Zucker hat trick, Devan Dubnyk shutout lift Wild over Canadiens
MONTREAL — Everything is going in the net for Jason Zucker.
After scoring two in a 4-2 loss in Toronto a night earlier, Zucker added three more in the Minnesota Wild’s 3-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.
He had one shorthanded, one at even strength and the third into an empty net as Minnesota (6-7-2) ended a three-game losing run.
“I’ll take them any way I can get them,” said Zucker. “I guarantee I’ve never done that (score five times in two games). It’s nice to get that, but we’ve got to regroup and get ready for our next game (Saturday night) in Philly.”
