Wild activate Zucker from IR, will play Saturday vs. Sabres

The Minnesota Wild activated forward Jason Zucker from the injured reserve Friday, and head coach John Torchetti says he will be back in the lineup Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres.

Zucker has not played since suffering a concussion during his team's Feb. 21 Stadium Series game against the Chicago Blackhawks after being hit by defenseman Michal Rozsival.

The 24-year-old needs just four more points to match his career high of 26, set one season ago.
