Zucker's operation to repair a sports hernia went as planned, and he's expected to be healthy for the start of training camp.

The Las Vegas native had a bounceback season in 2016-17, tallying career bests in games played (79), goals (22), assists (25), points (47) and plus-minus (plus-34). It's unclear how long Zucker played through the injury, but it makes you wonder how much more productive he could've been if fully healthy and if he averaged more than 16 seconds of power-play time per game. Should his recovery follow the announced timeline, Zucker is definitely a player to keep an eye on in 2017-18.
