Zucker is an influential voice in the locker room and wants to make Buffalo better despite knowing he could be traded at the deadline.

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (illness) is questionable to play against Vancouver on Tuesday. He is feeling under the weather and might sit out his first game of the season. Zucker's play has been one of only a few bright spots this season for Buffalo.

The Avalanche and Sabres must look at their options with pending UFAs Mikko Rantanen and Jason Zucker, while the Blackhawks' Seth Jones is reportedly gaining interest.

It’s time for another round of NHL rumours. We’re nearing the trade deadline that’s coming on March 7. This means that general managers will have to make some tough decisions before that day.

Zucker’s net-front residence has yielded offense at both 5-on-5 and on a resurgent Buffalo power play. Since Dec. 21, with Zucker a regular on the top unit, the Sabres have gone 9-for-28 (32 percent) with the man advantage, seventh best in the NHL during that span.

Buffalo Sabres forward Jason Zucker was banged up tonight after he took a questionable-looking hit from Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk. The play came during the first period as the Senators were breaking the puck out of their zone.

Despite their promising young core, the Buffalo Sabres have fallen short of expectations this season, leaving fans disappointed. As they look to the future, some veteran players, including Jason Zucker, may be moved to make room for younger talent.

Early in the 1st period of tonight's game between the Senators and Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo, the Sens' captain absolutely ran Sabres forward Jason Zucker from behind, hitting Zucker head and neck first into the glass and sideboards. That's a textbook hit from behind delivered right on the numbers.

Tuch entered Monday's play with 14 goals and 19 assists in 45 games – and holding a team-best rating of plus-15. HE had three short-handed goals, no power-play goals and scored just once over an 11-game stretch during the club's 13-game winless streak.

Kulich played 17:47 in Vancouver, posted his first career three-point night and went 9-11 on faceoffs – but it was notable that he was 4-1 over the final 10 minutes and his faceoff win directly led to the winning goal.

The Sabres will attempt to build on their win in Vancouver when they face off Thursday in Calgary against the Flames. In November, the Sabres beat the Flames in a shootout. Buffalo blew a 2-0 lead with Mikael Backlund tying the game with 4:18 left.
