Wild place Zucker on IR with concussion

Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Zucker suffered a concussion when he was leveled by an open-ice hit from Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Michal Rozsival during Sunday's Stadium Series game.

The news comes after interim head coach John Torchetti told reporters Tuesday that Zucker had not suffered a concussion.

With the 24-year-old sidelined, the club recalled forward Jordan Schroeder from the Iowa Wild.
