CRANBERRY, Pa. -- Jason Zucker gave his teammates a little surprise for Monday's practice at the Lemieux Complex.
It was a week ago today that Zucker suffered a lower-body injury in the Penguins' game against the Stars. Mike Sullivan said two days later after the Penguins' practice on Wednesday that Zucker was considered "week-to-week."
Zucker was back to practicing with the Penguins, however, in Monday's practice and wore a normal contact jersey for the session.
"I was shocked," Casey DeSmith told me of the moment he found out Zucker was practicing that morning.
