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 earliest Jason Zucker could be activated off injured reserve is Monday, so he'll miss at least the next 3 #mnwild games

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.
