Jason Zucker Stats

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jason Zucker finished with two goals in Thursday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Lightning. Zucker gave the Penguins a one-goal advantage late in the second period and later scored the game-winning goal in overtime, giving him four goals over the past three games to pick up the pace offensively. Zucker is worth rostering in deeper fantasy formats as he is having his best scoring season since the 2019-20 campaign where he played for both the Wild and Penguins, and the veteran forward has played on the second line with center Evgeni Malkin and right wing Bryan Rust during the 2022-23 season.

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jason Zucker recorded his first multi-goal outing of the campaign Wednesday, scoring two first-period goals in a 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit. Zucker put the Penguins 4-0 up with his second one on the power play, but the Red Wings found a way to produce an amazing comeback. It's the second time this season a team has erased a four-goal deficit and won. It was business as usual for Zucker in the matchup, as he extended his point streak against Detroit to seven games. He will surely be looking forward to the final few weeks of the regular season when these two teams have a couple of more meetings. Zucker is enjoying a good campaign on the Penguins' second line with eight goals and 15 assists registered in 31 games.

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers. The 30-year-old was considered week-to-week just a few days ago, but he's progressed well from a lower-body injury and might be able to return to action following a two-game stint on the sidelines. Zucker has had a very good campaign with 20 points in 27 games, skating on the second line with Evgeni Malkin. Danton Heinen has taken over from him and should continue in the role if Zucker still needs some more time to recover and can't play Tuesday. Fellow winger Josh Archibald (lower body) is also a game-time call for Tuesday.

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jason Zucker has suffered a lower-body injury and is set to miss multiple games, with the team regarding him as week-to-week. The 30-year-old will have to pause a very good season after posting six goals and 14 assists in 27 games. His injury is set to open the door for Danton Heinen to return to action. He skated on the second line in Wednesday's practice and looks set to be back in the lineup Thursday versus Florida. Heinen had some success early in the campaign, starting out with six points in five games, but he's totaled only four additional points since then. Joining Evgeni Malkin's line should provide a big boost for him.
