Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesThe Dallas Stars weren't even accustomed to playing with forward Mats Zuccarello before they lost him to a serious injury.The team announced Zuccarello would be evaluated in Dallas but is expected to miss four weeks at the minimum after exiting Sunday's 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in the second period after blocking a Connor Murphy shot.It was his first game with Dallas after it acquired him via trade.According to Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News Tage Thompson Jersey Womens , Zuccarello believes he broke his arm and wasn't sure if he will need surgery.Dallas landed Zuccarello from the New York Rangers in exchange for a conditional 2019 second-round pick and a conditional 2020 third-round pick.Kristen Nelson of Sports Illustrated explained the 2019 pick becomes a first-rounder if Zuccarello plays at least half of the Stars' games in the first two rounds of the playoffs and the team advances to at least the Western Conference Final. What's more, the 2020 pick becomes a first-rounder if the Stars re-sign him.Zuccarello made an instant impact before leaving with the injury, finishing with a goal and assist to go with a plus-minus of plus-three in the win over Chicago.It was a costly win for the Stars, who also saw captain Jamie Benn exit with an upper-body injury. Head coach Jim Montgomery called the Benn injury "day to day," per ESPN.com.The Stars hold the top wild-card spot in the Western Conference with 67 points. The host Florida Panthers and the visiting Anaheim Ducks — two franchises that entered the NHL together in 1993 — will meet on Wednesday night at the BB&T Center.Anaheim has been much more successful as a franchise, winning the Stanley Cup in 2007 as well as taking six division crowns and two conference championships.The Ducks have been especially good this decade, qualifying for the playoffs six straight years, winning the Pacific Division five of the past six seasons and topping 100 points in each of the five years.Article continues below ...However, the Ducks were swept out of the first round of the playoffs by the San Jose Sharks last season. This season, the Ducks endured a seven-game losing streak, including five defeats in regulation.They are last in the NHL in scoring, and Ducks coach Randy Carlyle has asked his team to play shut-down defense.“With the personnel we have in place Dalton Prout Jersey Womens , we have to win 2-1 or 1-0,” he told The Orange County Register. “It’s as simple as that — and any more offense is a bonus.”The Ducks (11-10-5) followed that plan on Tuesday night, defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-1.Meanwhile, the Panthers have never won the Stanley Cup. They won a conference championship in 1996 — the greatest season in club history even though they came up short in the Stanley Cup Finals — and they earned division titles in 2012 and 2016.Last season, the Panthers started slowly and then got hot starting on Jan. 30, finishing one point short of a playoff berth.This season, the Panthers are off to another slow start at 9-9-4. They started a crucial eight-game homestand on Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks, and they gave up a tying goal with 1.8 seconds left in regulation. The Blackhawks then won in overtime.On Monday, the Panthers were facing near-certain defeat, losing 3-2 to the New Jersey Devils in the final two minutes.However, Florida’s Jonathan Huberdeau scored with 1:29 left in regulation to tie the score 3-3, and Mike Hoffman scored in overtime to exorcise the demons from the Chicago game.“With the adversity we faced against Chicago Elias Lindholm Jersey Womens , it effects your mind and mindset,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner admitted. “Thinking we should’ve won (against the Blackhawks) and we didn’t was tough.”Huberdeau said the Devils win should give the Panthers a new outlook.“It feels good for our confidence,” he said. “The (Chicago) game hurt us at the end, and we just needed the two points. We need to keep going.”Florida’s main problem is on defense as they entered the week ranked next-to-last in the league in goals allowed. The Panthers are killing just 75 percent of their power plays — only three teams are worse — and they are without their top goalie, Roberto Luongo, who has missed two straight games due to a lower-body injury.In addition, center Vincent Trocheck, who was an All-Star center in 2017 and scored 54 goals the past two years, is out with a fractured ankle.Backup goalie James Reimer, who got Florida’s win on Monday, will likely be in the nets, and the Panthers offense is led by five players who all have between 20 and 23 points: Hoffman Alan Quine Jersey Womens , Evgenii Dadonov, Huberdeau, captain Aleksander Barkov and power-play quarterback Keith Yandle.Hoffman leads the team with 12 goals.Meanwhile, the Ducks are without their top two defensemen — Cam Fowler (broken jaw) and Hampus Lindholm (lower body).Offensively, no Ducks player has more than six goals, and players who used to be snipers such as Corey Perry (knee) and Patrick Eaves (back) are on injured reserve and past their primes.Perry, 33, has gone from 33 goals to 19 to 17 in the past three years, and he will likely miss this entire season.Eaves, 34, scored 32 goals in 2016-2017 but has played just five games since.
