Jason Zucker Expected to Return Tuesday for Sabres After Injury

Buffalo Sabres forward Jason Zucker (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Canucks. He has missed the last 11 games due to a lower-body injury but skated on the second line and first power-play unit in Monday's practice, signaling his readiness. In 33 appearances this season, Zucker has recorded 21 goals, nine assists, 22 hits, 10 PIM, and four blocked shots, averaging 15:36 of ice time.
