Zucker (lower body) will be a game-time call ahead of Thursday's clash with Minnesota, Mike DeFabo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Zucker lined up alongside Evgeni Malkin and Ricard Rakell at practice Wednesday and seems poised to jump right into a top-six role. Injuries have limited the 30-year-old winger to just 31 contests this year in which he recorded six goals and seven assists.
