Sabres' Jason Zucker: Posts three points in return
Zucker had one goal, two assists, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Zucker returned to the lineup after an eight-game absence due to an illness, and the left winger delivered an impressive outing while skating alongside Ryan McLeod and Jack Quinn in the second line. Zucker earned his second multi-point game of the season, and he should be a solid producer if he stays healthy and holds a top-six role.

Sabres' Jason Zucker: Could return by this weekend
Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Zucker (illness) could return to game action by this weekend, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Zucker has missed the last two weeks due to a severe viral issue, and he didn't have a timetable to return. However, he now appears to be closing in on getting back to game action. The 33-year-old will remain sidelined for Monday's game against Edmonton and could also miss Wednesday's matchup against the Flames, but it seems as though he'll be in the mix to suit up Friday against the Blackhawks or Sunday against the Hurricanes.

Sabres' Jason Zucker: Designated for IR
Zucker (illness) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Zucker was already considered a heavy doubt to play versus the Mammoth on Tuesday, but this move confirms the veteran winger won't be an option. Even if the Sabres use a retroactive designation for Zucker's IR placement, he should be expected to miss at least the team's next three outings while on IR. Beck Malenstyn and Isak Rosen could see increased minutes with Zucker on the shelf.

Sabres' Jason Zucker: Expected to play Friday
Zucker (upper body) is expected to be good to go for Friday's game against the Maple Leafs.
Zucker exited Wednesday's game against the Red Wings due to an upper-body injury, but he participated in Friday's morning skate and should be able to suit up in the first half of a back-to-back set. Zucker has recorded four goals, an assist, 11 hits, four PIM and a blocked shot while averaging 14:36 of ice time over seven appearances to begin the year.

Sabres' Jason Zucker: Exits Wednesday's contest
Zucker (upper body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings.
Zucker was hurt on a hit along the boards in the second period. Prior to his exit, he scored a goal on two shots, giving him four tallies and an assist through seven appearances this year. He's been a steady middle-six option as well as a member of the first power-play unit, so his potential absence looms large. Zucker's status for a pair of games against the Maple Leafs this weekend is yet to be determined.

Sabres' Jason Zucker: Shines on power play in win
Zucker scored two power-play goals, one the game-winner, in Wednesday's 8-4 victory over the Senators.
The two tallies came less than two minutes apart midway through the second period, staking the Sabres to a 5-2 lead. Zucker has three points, all goals, through four games to begin the season as the 33-year-old attempts to reach the 20-goal plateau for the eighth time in his career.

Sabres' Jason Zucker: Pots goal in loss to Boston
Zucker scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.
Zucker scored the Sabres' first goal of the 2025-26 season with a snap shot at the 9:46 mark of the third period. However, Buffalo couldn't complete the comeback and settled for another defeat. Zucker had 53 points in the 2024-25 season, the second-best output of his career, and he figures to play a key role on offense for the Sabres in 2025-26 once again. Through two games, he's already unleashed eight shots.

Sabres' Jason Zucker: Logs assist in win
Zucker notched an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Zucker set up Alex Tuch for the opening goal just 4:35 into the game. The 33-year-old Zucker slowed down a bit late in the season, earning five points over nine outings in April, but he was still a valuable veteran presence on a relatively young team. The winger ended the season with 53 points -- his most in any year since his career-high 64-point effort in 2017-18. Zucker added 143 shots on net, 68 hits, 57 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 73 appearances. He signed a two-year extension in March, so he'll be part of the Sabres' plans in 2025-26.

Zucker snapped an eight-game goal drought with the tying goal at 5:07 of the third period.

The winger is at 48 points (19 on the power play), 117 shots on net, 63 hits, 55 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 64 appearances. He's on pace to exceed 50 points for just the second time in his career.

Sabres' Jason Zucker: Back at practice Friday
Zucker (personal) rejoined the team for Friday's practice session, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
Zucker was back on the ice after missing Thursday's clash with the Penguins due to a family matter. Due to the veteran winger being available to face the Flyers on Saturday, the Sabres returned Josh Dunne to the minors. Since returning from a lower-body injury, Zucker has struggled offensively, producing just one goal and one assist in his last eight appearances -- though both of those tallies came with the man advantage.
