Zucker contributed two assists in Monday's 2-1 win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker has six goals and 20 points in 27 games this season. He had just a goal and three points in his previous 10 contests. Perhaps Zucker's strong performance against the Stars will help him break out of his recent slump.

Zucker delivered three assists in a 5-4 overtime loss to Montreal on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker is on a three-game, five-point streak (two goals, three assists) and has 13 points in as many games. That's an extraordinary pace for a 30-year-old winger whose career year happened in 2017-18 (33 goals, 31 assists). Keep throwing him on the ice until he cools.

Zucker scored a goal and delivered five hits during a 4-2 victory over the host Maple Leafs on Friday in the Hockey Hall of Fame game.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker, who has three tallies in four games, collected goals during back-to-back games for the first time in 13 months. The 30-year-old left winger one-timed a pass from Evgeni Malkin on Friday, giving the Penguins a 2-1, second-period advantage. Zucker, who added four shots against the Maple Leafs, last netted tallies in consecutive contests on Oct. 23 and 26, 2021.

Zucker scored a goal on five shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker had a shot that didn't quite get in, but Capitals goalie Darcy Kuemper bumped the puck in for the first goal of the game. The good fortune gave Zucker his second goal in the last three games and his third tally of the season. The 30-year-old winger has added six assists, 28 shots on net, 30 hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating through 11 appearances. His success on offense has helped him maintain a second-line role.

Zucker (undisclosed) will play Saturday against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker missed two games due to the undisclosed injury. He has a goal and six points in six contests this season, so he'll try to resume the hot start he enjoyed before getting hurt. He's projected to play with Evgeni Malkin and Rickard Rakell on the second line in his return. With Jake Guentzel (upper body) returning to the lineup as well, Drake Caggiula and Samuel Poulin will both be healthy scratches.

Zucker (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game versus Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker suffered the injury during Monday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton and missed Tuesday's contest against Calgary and Friday's game against Vancouver as a result. He had just 17 points in 41 games last season, but he was off to a good start to the 2022-23 campaign before getting hurt, scoring a goal and six points in six contests. Before the injury, Zucker was on the second line with Evgeni Malkin. If Zucker doesn't play, Jeff Carter will likely be on the second line instead.

Zucker (undisclosed) will not play in Vancouver on Friday, according to Dave Molinari of Pittsburgh Hockey Now.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker sat out Tuesday after suffering the injury Monday in a 6-3 loss to the Oilers. Zucker skated at Pittsburgh's optional practice Friday. He has one goal and six points in six games this season.

Zucker (undisclosed) will not play Tuesday versus the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker is considered day-to-day, but he'll have to miss at least one game. He had two assists, including one on the power play, and four hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers. Considering his long injury history, it's always a concern when the 30-year-old is out of the lineup, but this should be a short-term issue.

Zucker scored a goal and earned an assist on Thursday, leading the Penguins to a 6-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker, who has combined to score just 17 goals over the past two seasons, seeks to build off Thursday's strong start. Eager to regain his scoring touch, Zucker was left all alone at the top of the faceoff circle and one-timed a slapshot past Coyotes goalie Karel Vejmelka at 4:12 of the first period. The 2010 second-round draft pick scored a career-high 33 goals for the Wild five seasons ago and reached the 20-goal plateau four times. Fantasy managers searching for scoring depth could benefit by adding Zucker, who spends a lot of time on Evgeni Malkin's line.

Zucker recorded seven hits and three shots in 13:11 of ice time against the Rangers in Game 3 on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Zucker was back in the lineup after three games on the sidelines and certainly didn't hold back, leading the Penguins with his seven hits. With Rickard Rakell (upper body) out, coach Mike Sullivan has shuffled up the lines a bit, deploying Zucker on the third group with Jeff Carter, though that could certainly change before Game 4 on Monday.
