Minnesota Wild forward Mats Zuccarello faced a painful injury during a game. On Nov. 14, he fell to the ice in pain after a wrist shot from defenseman Brock Faber struck him in a sensitive area, resulting in a testicular rupture.

The details of the injury were revealed when teammate Marcus Foligno, on the 93X Half-Assed Morning Show, mentioned that Mats Zuccarello's jock strap had a significant dent from the impact.

While there were concerns about the severity of the injury, it was confirmed that both of Zuccarello's testicles remained intact, although he was unable to lift anything due to the pain.
