Jason Zucker Not Playing On Thursday
46 seconds agoBuffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (lower body) will not be available for Thursday's contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Zucker will now miss his fifth-straight contest. However, Mike Harrington noted that his absence is still injury related and not related to roster management. As a result, Jordan Greenway will continue to see time on the second line, which will keep JJ Peterka on the top unit alongside Tage Thompson. Before his injury, Zucker enjoyed a nice offensive surge as he found the back of the net twice and added seven helpers through eight games. During this stretch, he tallied 17 shots on goal, with six hits and three blocked shots. Through 54 contests, the 33-year-old scored 18 goals and added 26 helpers, with 16 of his points coming on the power-play.
