Zucker failed to find the back of the net for the eighth straight contest against the Sharks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After a strong start to January, Zucker has registered just one assist during his goal drought. Still, the winger continues to put the pucks on net with 23 shots over those eight contests. As long as Zucker keeps shooting, he should eventually get one over the goal line.

Zucker provided a goal in Pittsburgh's 4-1 win against Ottawa on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker's marker came at 11:57 of the first period and proved to be the game-winner. That extended the 31-year-old's goal scoring streak to three games. He has 13 goals and 30 points in 41 contests this season.

Zucker contributed a goal and registered an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win against Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker opened the scoring just 4:16 into the game. He has 11 goals and 28 points in 39 contests this season. The 31-year-old was somewhat cold going into Monday's action, contributing two goals and three points in his last seven games.

Zucker tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker tied the game 3-3 in the first period with a one-timer off an offensive-zone faceoff. He'd add an assist on Evgeni Malkin's goal in the second. Zucker now has three points in his last two games after being held scoreless in his previous three contests. The 30-year-old winger is up to 10 goals and 16 assists through 36 games this season.

Zucker scored a goal and added five hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker has three goals and a minus-1 rating over his last five games. He's also notched 10 shots on net and 14 hits in that span. The 30-year-old winger is up to nine tallies, 24 points, 81 shots on net, a career-high 100 hits and a plus-3 rating through 35 appearances this season.

Zucker scored twice in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker's second goal was scored on the power play. He has eight markers and 23 points in 31 contests this season. The 30-year-old had been limited to an assist in his previous three games.

Zucker (lower body) will return to the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker, who had been out since Dec. 12, will skate alongside Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust in his return Tuesday. He has produced six goals and 20 points in 27 appearances this campaign.

Zucker (lower body) was labeled a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Rangers, Pens Inside Scoop reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker was originally labeled week-to-week when he was injured against Dallas on Dec. 12 but it appears he has progressed quickly in his recovery. If the 30-year-old winger does suit up versus New York, he would almost certainly jump right back into his spot on the second line alongside Evgeni Malkin. Prior to his absence, the California native recorded five points in his prior five outings, including a pair of power-play helpers.

Zucker (lower body) took the ice for a portion of Monday's practice. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "He participated today. We'll see how he responds. His status hasn't changed at this point, but obviously it's a great first step," per Pens Inside Scoop.

EDGE Analysis

Zucker remains week-to-week, so fantasy players probably shouldn't expect him to play in the Penguins' next two games before the holiday break. Danton Heinen continues to fill Zucker's role on the second line with Evgeni Malkin, though Kasperi Kapanen or Ryan Poehling could also be candidates to jump up the depth chart while Zucker is out.

Zucker is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Given the expected length of Zucker's absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 30-year-old vet end up on injured reserve in the coming days. Danton Heinen, who's been a healthy scratch for five of Pittsburgh's last seven games, could be a regular in the lineup during Zucker's absence.
