It’s been over two years since the Penguins traded for Jason Zucker in February of 2020. Through injuries, pandemics, postponements and all that has come with the mayhem that has been the last two years, it’s only yielded 84 regular season games.
Zucker, a former 30-goal scorer, hasn’t felt like his time in Pittsburgh has paid off, though he does have 21 goals and 22 assists in just over a full season of work split across three different campaigns.
This year, it’s only been struggles and frustration for Zucker. His play had been OK, he’s been shooting the puck quite a bit with 88 shots in 31 games.
