Jason Zucker Misses Playoff Opener
2 years agoPittsburgh Penguins winger Jason Zucker (lower body) hasn't managed to recover for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Rangers. The veteran winger returned to practice on Monday but skated on his own and some reports suggest that Zucker won't be back until Game 3 at the earliest. The 30-year-old has struggled to stay healthy all season and ended up skating in just 41 regular-season games. He notched only 17 points this season, but his experience could be a major asset in the playoffs. Zucker's absence gives Danton Heinen a top-six role for the start of the postseason.
