Zucker notched an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker set up Alex Tuch for the opening goal just 4:35 into the game. The 33-year-old Zucker slowed down a bit late in the season, earning five points over nine outings in April, but he was still a valuable veteran presence on a relatively young team. The winger ended the season with 53 points -- his most in any year since his career-high 64-point effort in 2017-18. Zucker added 143 shots on net, 68 hits, 57 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 73 appearances. He signed a two-year extension in March, so he'll be part of the Sabres' plans in 2025-26.

Zucker scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has two goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. The winger's tally early in the third period Sunday gave the Sabres their first lead of the contest. He's up to 21 goals, 51 points, 125 shots on net, 65 hits, 55 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 67 appearances while playing primarily in the Sabres' middle six this season.

Zucker scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker snapped an eight-game goal drought with the tying goal at 5:07 of the third period. He has four points, including two on the power play, over his last three contests, but he's struggled for consistency at times after a lower-body injury kept him out for six games in late February and early March. The winger is up to 20 goals, 50 points (20 on the power play), 121 shots on net, 64 hits, 55 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 66 appearances in a strong first year with the Sabres.

Zucker notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker snapped a four-game point drought in this contest. The 33-year-old was limited to four points over 10 outings in March -- he's been a little less steady since returning from a lower-body injury March 10. The winger is at 48 points (19 on the power play), 117 shots on net, 63 hits, 55 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 64 appearances. He's on pace to exceed 50 points for just the second time in his career.

Zucker (personal) rejoined the team for Friday's practice session, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker was back on the ice after missing Thursday's clash with the Penguins due to a family matter. With the veteran winger available to face the Flyers on Saturday, the Sabres returned Josh Dunne to the minors. Since returning from a lower-body injury, Zucker has struggled offensively, producing just one goal and one assist in his last eight appearances -- though both of those tallies came with the man advantage.

Zucker (personal) won't play against Pittsburgh on Thursday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker should return from a family matter versus Philadelphia on Saturday. He has generated 19 goals, 46 points, 115 shots on net and 63 hits in 62 outings this season. Sam Lafferty (groin) or Josh Dunne will replace Zucker in Thursday's lineup.

Zucker logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has a pair of power-play points, 13 shots on net and eight hits over five contests since returning from a lower-body injury. The 33-year-old winger has taken on a second-line role lately, though he's also part of the Sabres' top power-play unit. For the season, Zucker has 46 points (18 on the power play), 112 shots on net, 60 hits, 55 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 59 appearances as one of the steadiest forwards in Buffalo's lineup.

Zucker delivered a goal Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker scored on a bang-bang play with the man advantage in the third period. He was in the slot and intercepted Alex Pietrangelo's clearing attempt from behind the net. He fired it top right shelf pretty much before Adin Hill could even react. Zucker has 19 goals, 26 assists and 105 shots in 57 games this season. Since Jan. 15, he has 14 points, including 10 assists, in his last 14 appearances.

Zucker (lower body) is slated to rejoin the lineup ahead of Monday's game against Edmonton, according to Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker missed six games with the injury, but managed to inked a two-year contract extension with the Sabres in the interim. Zucker had two goals and six assists in his previous six games before the injury, giving the 33-year-old 18 goals and 26 assists, including 16 points on the power play, over 54 appearances this season. He is expected to play alongside Ryan McLeod and Alex Tuch on the second line.

Zucker (lower body) won't play against Florida on Saturday, per Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker will miss his sixth straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has registered 18 goals, 44 points, 52 hits, 53 PIM and 99 shots on net in 54 appearances this season.
