Draws power-play assist Zucker registered a power-play assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Zucker ended a three-game point drought when he set up John-Jason Peterka's second-period goal. The 32-year-old Zucker has mostly avoided dry spells this season. He's up to 22 points (eight on the power play) with 59 shots on net, 37 PIM, 33 hits and a plus-1 rating over 34 contests. He's been playing on the top line recently, so Zucker has significant upside in fantasy as long as he can maintain that role alongside Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch.

Nets goal in Saturday's loss Zucker scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Zucker got a piece of the puck on a Jordan Greenway feed, scoring the opening goal just 1:36 into the game.

He's at eight goals, 21 points, 55 shots on net, 26 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 30 appearances.

Three points in losing effort Zucker scored two goals and added an assist in Monday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Impact It's the first three-point performance of the season for the veteran winger, and Zucker extended his current point streak to four games in the process. After a rough 2023-24 campaign split between the Coyotes and Predators, Zucker has found new life in Buffalo, collecting seven goals and 20 points in 28 contests -- a pace that would give him a shot at his first 60-point season since 2017-18.

Puts up helper in loss Zucker notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Zucker snapped a four-game point drought in this contest. The 32-year-old winger played on the top line and led the Sabres' forwards in ice time (20:54). Zucker is up to 15 points (six on the power play), 37 shots on net, 27 PIM, 15 hits and a plus-3 rating over 25 appearances. He's put together a decent start to the campaign, and if he sticks on the top line, he's worth a speculative add in most fantasy formats.

Nets game-tying goal Zucker scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.

Impact Zucker has goals in consecutive games and has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight outings follow a dry spell of equal length from Nov. 9-14. His tally late in the second period tied this contest at 2-2, and the Sabres went on to win in overtime on a Jiri Kulich goal. Zucker is up to five goals, 14 points, 30 shots on net, 27 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 20 appearances. He had 32 points in 69 regular-season outings between the Coyotes and the Predators in 2023-24, so he's well on his way to a bounce-back campaign.

Scores lone goal in win Zucker scored a power-play goal on three shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Kings.

Impact Zucker opened the scoring 38 seconds into the third period, and that was the lone goal of the game. He snapped a seven-game goal drought with the tally -- the winger had three helpers (two on the power play) in that span. Zucker has been a middle-six fixture at even strength, but he's seeing top-unit power-play time in the absence of Tage Thompson (lower body). For the season, Zucker is up to four goals, 13 points (six on the power play), 26 shots on net, 25 PIM, 11 hits and a plus-2 rating over 19 contests. He's worth a look in fantasy as long as he continues to be productive on offense, particularly with the man advantage.

Helps out on power play Zucker logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Zucker has gone seven games without a goal, picking up three assists and nine shots on net in that span. The 32-year-old winger has done pretty well in a middle-six role with power-play time, earning 12 points (five on the power play), 23 shots on net, 10 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 18 contests. Zucker has peaked in the 40-50 point range most of the time, but that's enough offense to be worth a look in fantasy.
