Zucker signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Sabres on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. Zucker had 14 goals, 32 points, 81 PIM and 98 hits in 69 regular-season contests between Arizona and Nashville in 2023-24. He'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity next season. Given that this is just a one-year deal, it wouldn't be surprising if Zucker is involved in a midseason trade should the Sabres fall out of the playoff hunt.

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