Zucker departs game with apparent leg injury

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jason Zucker was forced out of Tuesday's 3-2 victory against the Washington Capitals after suffering an apparent leg injury late in the game.

Zucker had to be helped off the ice by trainers and didn't appear to be putting any pressure on his leg. Head coach Mike Sullivan didn't have an update on Zucker's status postgame, only saying he's being evaluated for a lower-body injury.

The 29-year-old has recorded four goals and three assists in 18 games this season.
