The Arizona Coyotes are making headlines again, this time for benching forward Jason Zucker as trade rumors heat up.
NEWS: #Yotes holding Jason Zucker out of lineup tonight for trade-related reasons, per @reporterchris
At 32, Zucker has tallied nine goals and 25 points over 51 games this season. Known for his scoring ability, including a 30-goal season, he's seen as a valuable asset for teams looking to bolster their lineup for a playoff run.
This move echoes the recent situation with Wennberg, where a player was scratched amidst trade speculation. As the deadline nears, all eyes are on Zucker and potential moves by the Coyotes.
