Jason Zucker was held out of the lineup in a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday for trade-related reasons.
The 32-year-old forward, who signed a one-year contract with Arizona on July 1, can become an unrestricted free agent after this season. He has 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 51 games this season.
Arizona (25-32-5) is 18 points behind Nashville Predators for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference, and is looking to move players on expiring contracts for pieces for the future.
General manager Bill Armstrong said Sunday that "there's people calling on everything right now" and that he's spoken with Zucker and defenseman Matt Dumba, who also is a pending unrestricted free agent, about their situations.
"I think they know where they're at," Armstrong said. "I think there's been some transparency and some openness all the way through not only with the players but also with their agents."
