ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker was helped off the ice after elbowed in the head by Anaheim's Corey Perry in the second period Tuesday night.

Perry dipped his shoulder and threw an elbow at Zucker's head, sending him crashing into the corner boards. Zucker stayed down on the ice for about five minutes as he was helped by trainers.

Perry was given a major penalty for interference and was ejected.
