Jason Zucker News

Zucker was having a great bounce season with six goals, 20 points, 67 SOG and a +6 plus/minus through 27 games but has been out since Dec. 12th due to an undisclosed injury. It marked the fifth straight season where Zucker was forced to miss a chunk of games due to injury, so a return is great news for the Penguins.

Zucker was having a great bounce season with six goals, 20 points, 67 SOG and a +6 plus/minus through 27 games but will now be out week-to-week due to an undisclosed injury. This will now mark the fifth straight season where Zucker misses significant time due to injury.

Zucker missed the final game of the regular season and Game 1 of the playoffs with a lower-body injury. In Game 2, he'll replace Rickard Rakell (upper-body) if he's healthy enough to play.

Zucker missed Friday's practice with a non-COVID illness and is questionable to play in Saturday's game in Detroit. Evan Rodrigues is expected to move up into the top-6 if Zucker can't go.

Zucker missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but will play Saturday vs. the Capitals. He has been limited to just 32 games this season due to injury, scoring six goals with eight assists (14 points)

Zucker was at practice on Wednesday but is not ready to play in Thursday's game in New York. Anthony Angello will likely remain in the lineup in Zucker's spot.

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 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 missed a month before returning to the lineup on January 17th. He scored two goals in 15:36 TOI but got hurt again. The Penguins announced that they will have a more detailed timetable on Zucker's return in the coming days.

There is no word on why Zucker is back on IR but the team is expected to issue a release with further details on Thursday afternoon. Zucker only recently returned to the lineup after being activated from IR 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 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.
