Jason Zucker Good to Go for Game 5

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (undisclosed) will play in Game 5 against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports. He has been cleared for action after Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff labeled Zucker probable for the game on Monday. The veteran forward left Sunday's Game 4 early with an unspecified ailment. Zucker is expected to skate in his usual spot on the second line and will work with the first power-play unit. He has eight SOG but no points in four games in the series.

Jason Zucker Probable for Game 5 Against Bruins

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (undisclosed) is considered probable for Tuesday's Game 5 tilt against the Boston Bruins, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. The veteran forward left Sunday's Game 4 win midway through the third period. However, Zucker doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury and is likely to play as Buffalo attempts to finish off Boston on Tuesday. After four games in the series, Zucker is still searching for his first points. He has cooled off following a four-game point streak to end the regular season. Tyson Kozak (undisclosed), who also didn't finish Sunday's contest, is probable for Tuesday as well.

Jason Zucker Makes Early Exit in Blowout Win

Buffalo Sabres winger Jason Zucker (undisclosed) exited the action midway through the third period in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Boston Bruins, Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site reports. After taking a 4-0 lead in the first period, Buffalo was already in cruise control at that point, which could mean Zucker's exit was for precautionary reasons. Tyler Kozak (undisclosed) also didn't finish the game for the Sabres, who went up 3-1 in the series. Zucker had a hot finish to the regular season, but he hasn't been very sharp in the playoffs. The veteran is still looking for his first points against the Bruins, failing to score with eight attempts on net. An update on Zucker and Kozak is expected before Tuesday's Game 5.

Jason Zucker Set to Return From 11-Game Absence

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) is expected to make his return from an 11-game absence on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The veteran has been out of commission for nearly a month due to a lower-body injury. At Monday's practice, Zucker joined Josh Norris and Alex Tuch on the second line and worked with the first power-play unit. Zucker has averaged nearly a point per game this season. In 21 outings, he has produced nine goals and nine assists. Half of his 18 points have come with the man advantage. On Tuesday night, Zucker is in a great position to find more success on the power-play, as Vancouver has the third-worst penalty-killing efficiency in the league (73.9 percent).

Jason Zucker Added to Injured Reserve

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) is facing another spell on the sidelines after he was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff expects Zucker to "miss some time" due to a lower-body injury. Zucker was unavailable for most of November due to a viral illness. He had been hugely impressive since returning, amassing 11 points (five goals, six assists) in nine games. For the season, Zucker has notched 18 points (nine goals, nine assists) in 21 games. Josh Dunne will take Zucker's spot in the lineup on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers, but he has no fantasy value.

Jason Zucker Available Friday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (illness) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will rejoin the action on Friday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. The veteran forward has missed eight games due to a severe viral issue. Zucker is expected to skate with Ryan McLeod and Jack Quinn on the second line, replacing Isak Rosen. He will also be a big part of the Sabres power play going forward. Four of Zucker's seven points this season have come with the man advantage. In 12 outings, he has recorded four goals and three assists.

Jason Zucker Dealing With Severe Viral Issue

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (illness) remains without a timeline for his return. On Monday, Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff revealed that Zucker is dealing with a serious health issue. "Real severe viral, flu-like thing that he hasn't been able to shake," Ruff said. "Undergone a lot of tests and still isn't doing that well." Zucker is set to miss a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Utah Mammoth. The veteran forward has notched four goals and three assists in 12 outings during the 2025-26 campaign. Young players like Jack Quinn and Isak Rosen will have larger roles on the team until Zucker returns.

Jason Zucker Placed on Injured Reserve

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (illness) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. The veteran forward will miss Tuesday's matchup against the Utah Mammoth and is expected to be out for multiple games. Zucker has totaled seven points (four goals, three assists) and 15 hits in 12 games this season. Jiri Kulich (ear) won't play either on Tuesday, opening up additional playing time for other forwards. Jack Quinn and Jordan Greenway will team up with Tage Thompson on the first line.

Jason Zucker Expected to Play Friday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (upper body) practiced on Friday and is expected to play against the Toronto Maple Leafs. On Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings, Zucker's day at the office was cut short by an upper-body injury. However, he won't be forced to sit out any games because of the issue. Zucker has offered solid fantasy value, scoring four goals and five points in seven outings, while registering 11 hits. He skates on the third line and the first power-play unit. Three of his four points have come with the man advantage, and Zucker can make further damage on Friday against a 78.9 percent penalty kill.

Jason Zucker Exits With Injury Wednesday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (upper body) scored the opening goal in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, but he had to exit the game early due to injury. The veteran forward was hurt in the second period while absorbing a hit. Zucker is off to a good start to the campaign, leading the Sabres with four goals in seven games. He has also registered one assist. Buffalo must tweak its third line and top power-play unit if Zucker isn't available on Friday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Jason Zucker Unavailable Against Penguins

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (personal) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has left the team to take care of a personal matter. The veteran forward is expected to return on Saturday when the Sabres travel to Philadelphia. Zucker's recent form has been underwhelming, but he has had a decent first year in Buffalo. Over 62 contests, Zucker has tallied 19 goals and 46 points while averaging a hit per game. Josh Dunne looks set to fill Zucker's spot in the lineup on Thursday. Dunne has been ineffective on the NHL level, finishing all 15 of his career games without a point.

Jason Zucker Expected To Return On Monday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Monday evening to face the Edmonton Oilers. Zucker participated in the team's morning skate and the plan is for him to suit up. Zucker has missed the previous six contests due to this injury. However, while the 33-year-old was sidelined, he signed a two-year extension with the Sabres worth $9.5 million. Before his injury, Zucker was enjoying an offensive surge as he found the back of the net twice and added seven helpers. Through 54 total contests this season, Zucker has tallied 44 points (18 goals) with 99 shots on goal, 52 hits, and 18 blocked shots. Zucker has tallied 16 of his points on the power-play. If he were to return on Monday, he will likely return to the second offensive line.

Jason Zucker Not Playing On Thursday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) will not be available for Thursday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Zucker will now miss his fifth-straight contest. However, Mike Harrington noted that his absence is still injury related and not related to roster management. As a result, Jordan Greenway will continue to see time on the second line, which will keep JJ Peterka on the top unit alongside Tage Thompson. Before his injury, Zucker enjoyed a nice offensive surge as he found the back of the net twice and added seven helpers through eight games. During this stretch, he tallied 17 shots on goal, with six hits and three blocked shots. Through 54 contests, the 33-year-old scored 18 goals and added 26 helpers, with 16 of his points coming on the power-play.

Jason Zucker Remains Out Saturday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens. Earlier this week, Zucker suffered a lower-body injury while blocking a shot. The veteran has landed on the shelf after registering 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) in 54 games during a highly productive campaign. Sam Lafferty has taken Zucker's spot in the lineup. Lafferty is a fourth-line grinder, offering zero fantasy value. He has posted five points (two goals, three assists) in 40 appearances.

Jason Zucker A Game-Time Decision Thursday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) is a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against the Carolina Hurricanes. The veteran forward was also a game-time call on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks. He was able to suit up for Tuesday's matchup, logging 12:57 of ice time. Tuesday marked Zucker's first game of the month without any points. In 54 outings, he has notched 18 goals and 44 points this season. Sam Lafferty is expected to take Zucker's spot in the lineup on Thursday if he can't play. Lafferty has far less fantasy appeal and should be ignored by managers.

Jason Zucker May Return To Action Saturday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (illness) practiced on Friday and may be ready to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. The veteran has missed a couple of games due to an illness. Zucker has had a strong season in Buffalo, notching 35 points (16 goals, 19 assists) in 46 games. He has recorded three multi-point games in eight outings during January. If he's good to go on Saturday, Zucker should reclaim a top-six role and join the first power-play unit.

Jason Zucker Questionable For Tuesday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (illness) is questionable to play against Vancouver on Tuesday. He is feeling under the weather and might sit out his first game of the season. Zucker's play has been one of only a few bright spots this season for Buffalo. The veteran has tallied 35 points (16 goals, 19 assists) in 46 games, making him the second-highest scorer on the team. Jack Quinn or Zach Benson might get a look in the top six on Tuesday if Zucker can't play, while the team would also need to switch things up on the first power-play unit.

Jason Zucker Amasses Three Points Against Red Wings

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker recorded a season-high three points in Monday's 6-5 shootout loss to Detroit. Led by Zucker's two goals and one assist, the Sabres earned themselves a 5-3 lead following two periods, but the Red Wings found a way to come back and win the matchup between two struggling teams. Buffalo has now dropped seven games on the bounce, but Zucker will be happy with his recent contributions. He's riding a four-game point streak. The entire campaign has gone well for Zucker, who hit the 20-point mark on Monday. He's had seven goals and 13 assists. Last season, Zucker was limited to 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists) in 69 appearances for Arizona and Nashville, so his scoring rate has significantly improved.

Jason Zucker Moves On To Nashville

The Nashville Predators have acquired forward Jason Zucker from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round pick that originally belonged to the Dallas Stars. The Coyotes are not retaining any of Zucker's $5.3 million cap hit, lessening the return as a result. Zucker, who has been held out of the past two games for trade-related reasons, has recorded nine goals and 25 points across 51 games on the season. A veteran of 679 career NHL games, Zucker has tallied 191 goals and 363 points in that time. The Predators have won nine of their last 10 games, catapulting them into the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Jason Zucker To Remain Out Thursday

Arizona Coyotes winger Jason Zucker will once again be held out of the lineup for trade-related reasons for Thursday's contest versus the visiting Minnesota Wild. Zucker was held out of Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks as the pending free agent is likely to be traded prior to Friday's trade deadline and the club protects against injury. The 32-year-old has had a decent season on a poor Coyotes offense with nine goals and 25 points across 51 games while registering 104 shots on goal in that time. He has averaged 14:02 minutes of ice time per game and has brought his typical physicality with 74 hits on the campaign. The Coyotes will be moving out pieces as they sit 18 points behind the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.
