Jason Zucker at Home in Vegas
As the only Vegas native playing in the NHL, the Wild's Jason Zucker is in a unique position.
“This place has been waiting for a pro team for a long time. They were really excited about it and have rallied behind it since Day One. Now that the team is doing well, it’s even easier to get behind them and cheer for them. Even though good to see them do well, we’re looking to coming in here and take two points from them tomorrow.”
Zucker is used to flying into Vegas to come home and visit family, but this week it's all business.
“It’s really weird coming here knowing that we’re playing a game tomorrow. It’s something I never thought was going to happen.”
With the Wild needing the 2 points as they scrap for a playoff spot, there wont be any time for Zucker to get away from hockey and spend time with his family this time.
Let's play hockey.
