Zucker won’t travel with the Pens when they head to Florida and Carolina to face the Panthers and Hurricanes tomorrow and on Sunday.
Following the road trip, the Penguins will return home and face the New York Rangers on Tuesday at PPG Paints Arena.
Between now and then, we might get a better picture of when Zucker could return to the lineup.
In the meantime, Danton Heinen filled in on the second line with Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust in Zucker’s absence.
Petry (placed on LTIR yesterday) and Zucker are absent from Penguins practice. O'Connor and Friedman are here after being recalled. Lines:
