According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Wild coach Mike Yeo did not provide an update on Zucker following the game.

Here is a description of what happened via the Star Tribune.

In the final seconds, he was slashed in the back of the leg by Matt Beleskey. Zucker went down in a heap and was in a lot of pain. He stayed down for awhile afterward, then had to be helped off by athletic therapist Don Fuller and teammate Thomas Vanek. He put no weight on his leg. He was seen by Bruins doctors for about 15 minutes, then I saw him limp badly but on his own power into the changing room.

Per the Star Tribune, Beleskey “didn’t think it was that bad.” He also admitted the slash but said he “didn’t try to break his leg.”

The Wild have been without forward Zach Parise (sprained MCL) since he took a hit from Nashville Predators forward James Neal on Nov. 5. Defenseman Marco Scandella (lower body) is on injured reserve. 

The Wild have gone 0-2-1 in their last three games.
