Arizona Coyotes Scratch Forward Before Upcoming Game For Trade Related Reasons
The Arizona Coyotes are making headlines again, this time for benching forward Jason Zucker as trade rumors heat up.

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.
