Zucker logged an assist, three hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has a goal and an assist over two playoff contests, already more offense than he had in his last eight regular-season outings (one goal). The 32-year-old winger looks set to stay in a middle-six role during the postseason. He should also see some power-play time, but the strength of the Predators' top line makes it tough to rely on their depth forwards for scoring.

Zucker scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has two goals over nine appearances in April. The winger has played in a middle-six role for much of his time in Nashville following a trade from Arizona at the deadline in March. He had 32 points over 69 regular-season appearances, and without a larger power-play role, it's unlikely his offense takes a significant step forward in the playoffs.

Zucker scored two goals on three shots in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker had the Predators up 2-0 at 5:11 of the first period, earning his first multi-goal game of the campaign. He's now scored eight times at Mullett Arena this season -- six times for the Coyotes in addition to two goals Thursday. He's up to 13 tallies, 30 points, 129 shots on net, 87 hits and a minus-8 rating through 60 appearances this season.

Zucker was traded to the Predators from the Coyotes on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. In exchange, Arizona gets a 2024 sixth-round pick, per Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has been forced to sit out Arizona's last two games while awaiting this eventual move but he will now be able to get back on the ice, perhaps as early as Saturday's clash with Columbus. The veteran winger has managed just one goal in his last 12 contests while also registering six helpers, 21 shots and four power-play points. Zucker should slot into a middle-six role with the Preds.

Zucker (not injury related) won't play Thursday against Minnesota because of trade-related reasons, per Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has registered nine goals and 16 assists through 51 games with the Coyotes this season. The 32-year-old will be a valuable third-line piece if traded to a contender. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer.

Zucker (not injured related) won't play Tuesday against Chicago because of trade interest from other teams, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has accounted for nine goals, 25 points, 104 shots on net and 74 hits over 51 games this season. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer and carries a $5.3 million cap hit.

Zucker scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

After helping set up Logan Cooley for the game's opening goal in the first period, Zucker gave Arizona a 2-0 lead early in the second with his first power-play tally since Nov. 14. The performance snapped a slump in which Zucker had managed only one helper in his previous nine games. The veteran winger has made little impact during his first campaign with the Coyotes, producing nine goals and 25 points in 51 contests.

Zucker notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker snapped his five-game point drought with the helper. The winger's veteran presence could be helpful for the Coyotes if Clayton Keller (upper body) misses time with the injury he sustained Sunday. Zucker has had mediocre returns on offense this season with 23 points, 96 shots on net, 67 hits, 48 PIM and a minus-3 rating through 47 outings, but he's spent a large portion of the campaign in a bottom-six role.

Zucker logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has five points over three games since the All-Star break. It's not great that he was listed on the fourth line Monday, but he's still finding ways to contribute despite a shrinking role. The 32-year-old winger has 22 points, 86 shots on net, 49 hits, 48 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 41 outings overall. Zucker figures to be the first to move up the lineup if there's an injury to another winger.

Zucker notched three assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has a goal and three helpers over two games since the All-Star break. It's not a surprising surge -- he had five points over nine contests before the break to show a little more life on offense. The winger is up to eight goals, 13 assists, 85 shots on net, 47 hits, 46 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 40 appearances in a middle-six role with power-play time this season.
