Slated to suit up Tuesday Zucker (undisclosed) is available for Game 5 at home versus Boston on Tuesday, according to Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald.

Impact Zucker's departure from Sunday's Game 4 in the third period was never expected to be overly serious, as he was deemed probable to play in Game 5 by head coach Lindy Ruff on Monday. Now that it's confirmed he's available for a game that could eliminate the Bruins from the 2026 playoffs, Zucker should fill his usual spots on the second line and No. 1 power-play unit.

Deemed probable versus Bruins Zucker (undisclosed) is considered probable ahead of Game 5 versus the Bruins on Tuesday, according to head coach Lindy Ruff.

Impact While Ruff wouldn't fully commit to having Zucker available for Game 5, the veteran winger seems to be trending in the right direction. Despite his team having a 3-1 series lead, Zucker has yet to register a point through four postseason contests while chipping in 12 hits and eight shots.

Leaves Game 4 early Zucker (undisclosed) departed Sunday's 6-1 win over Boston in Game 4 and did not return, according to Justin Alpert and Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site.

Impact Zucker's departure from Sunday's game seems to have been precautionary, as head coach Lindy Ruff said the team opted to hold Zucker out since the Sabres had a six-goal lead in the final frame. The veteran winger registered three hits and a plus-1 rating in 13:26 of ice time before leaving the game. For now, Zucker can be considered day-to-day ahead of Game 5 in Buffalo on Tuesday.

Impact Zucker won't play in the regular-season finale, ending the campaign at 45 points (16 on the power play) in 62 appearances. The 34-year-old winger should be fine for Game 1 against the Bruins. He'll be a top-six option and a power-play producer during the postseason.
