Zucker (lower-body) will not play Saturday in Colorado.

Zucker suffered a lower-body injury in his first game back on Thursday. Zucker was unable to put any weight on his leg as he left the ice but was seen walking post-game. This is an unbelievably bad break for Zucker, who will miss his 38th game of the season on Saturday.

Zucker (lower-body) will be back in the Penguins lineup on Thursday.

Zucker has been out since January 17th with a lower-body injury but will draw back into the Penguins' lineup on Thursday. Zucker, who has 13 points (6G / 7A) in 31 games this season, will skate on the second line (with Malkin & Rakell) and second power-play unit.

Zucker (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Monday.

Zucker has been out since December 19th but was on the ice for Sunday's practice and will be a game-time decision for Monday's game in Vegas. Zucker skated on a line with Brian Boyle and Kasperi Kapanen in the session and has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 30 games this season.

Zucker is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Zucker has been dealing with a nagging lower-body injury and is expected to miss multiple weeks. This comes at a terrible time, with the Penguins adding six players to the COVID-19 protocol list over the last two days. Luckily for them, it looks like both Bryan Rust and Evgeni Malkin are nearing returns, potentially as early as Wednesady.

Zucker (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Monday.

Zucker has been out for just over one month with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Sunday's practice and is a game-time decision for Monday's clash with the Islanders. The Penguins are in desperate need of some healthy forwards, so Zucker will slot right back into the top-6 if he plays on Monday.

Zucker will make his Penguins debut on Tuesday.

Zucker, who was acquired from the Wild on Monday night, will make his debut on the Penguins' top line with Sidney Crosby. Zucker, who has scored 14 goals with 15 assists in 45 games this season, brings a ton of energy and skill to Crosby's wing, a spot where many have posted career years.

The Penguins have acquired Jason Zucker from the Wild for Alex Galchenyuk, Calen Addison and a 2020 first-round pick.

Zucker has scored 14 goals with 15 assists (29 points) in 45 games with the Wild this season. Zucker, who is a one-time 30-goal scorer, will get a huge fantasy boost because he will likely slot in the top-6 with Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. After this year, Zucker has three years left with a $5.5M cap-hit (per PuckPedia).

Zucker underwent surgery on a broken right fibula and will miss six weeks.

Zucker broke his fibula last Sunday in Chicago but finished the game, logging 16:33 TOI but the broken bone was found post-game. Zucker underwent surgery and is expected to be out until early-February and Zach Parise is expected to continue to skate with the top-line moving forward.

Zucker (lower-body) will not play on Tuesday.

Zucker briefly left Sunday's game in Chicago but returned and finished with one assist in 16:33 TOI. The injury comes at a tough time for the Wild, who were already without Mikko Koivu and Joel Eriksson Ek up front and Jared Spurgeon on the blueline. Luke Johnson is expected to make his Wild debut with Zucker out.
