    Default What's up with Zucker?

    I know not a huge name but he had a great finish after moving to Pittsburgh last season (12 pts in 15 games).

    Only 1 assist so far this year.

    Seems it's just a slow start. Still getting good ice time (just under 17 min/game) and all his shifts at evens with Malkin and Rust. Malkin has just 2 points himself. He's also on PP2 but that shouldn't be a surprise. I still like him to pace in the 50s by season's end.

    Scooped him up after an impatient owner dropped. He's been hitting a ton this year and the SOG pace should pick up for the multi cat leagues. Here's hoping the Malkin line gets hot

    I think Zucker has played most of this season with Malkin - who has been ice-cold.
    I do/did wonder if some of the bigger 30+ hockey players might be a little out-of-shape/unmotivated coming into camp this year.
    Malkin is a guy to keep an eye on.

    PIT did move Rust back to Crosby line recently...
    Which puts Zucker with Kapanen on line 2.

    Zucker did get two gift points last night.
    His goal came after a pinballing of the puck and Rask giving up...
    His assist was a token neutral zone touch where Kapanen did all the finishing work.

    We'll see... the token points do come with minutes & quality linemates.
