Lucchini posted an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Lucchini has assists in back-to-back games along with a plus-3 rating early in April. The 28-year-old is proving his worth at the top level after clearing waivers last month, but fantasy managers will pass over him given his scant role as a fourth-line forward. Lucchini has two goals and three assists through 34 NHL contests for Minnesota.

Wild's Jake Lucchini: Scores first goal of season
Rotowire
Lucchini scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Lucchini opened the scoring at 12:27 of the first period. That was the 28-year-old's first goal and point in nine appearances with the Wild this season. He could stick in the lineup for a while longer with news of Patrick Maroon (back) undergoing surgery that will keep him out for 4-6 weeks. Nonetheless, Lucchini shouldn't be expected to be useful in fantasy while occupying a fourth-line role.

Wild's Jake Lucchini: Recalled Saturday
Rotowire
Lucchini was recalled from AHL Iowa on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Lucchini has played four games with Minnesota this season, averaging 10:25 of ice time without registering a point. The 28-year-old forward will likely serve as a depth option because Frederick Gaudreau's (upper body) status is uncertain for Sunday's matchup against Carolina. Connor Dewar was placed on IR in a corresponding move.

Wild's Jake Lucchini: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Lucchini was returned to AHL Iowa on Monday.
Lucchini has logged just four NHL games this season in which he has recorded two hits, two shots on goal and one blocked shot while averaging 10:25 of ice time per contest. The 28-year-old winger became expendable when Marcus Foligno was cleared to return to action against Dallas on Monday. At this point, it would likely take another injury for Lucchini to be called back up to the NHL roster.
