Zucker, a forward, is expected to sit out his second consecutive game for trade-related purposes; Dumba, a defenseman, took part in the Coyotes morning skate Thursday but is also likely to be held out for trade-related purposes. … Bjugstad will be a game-time decision; his wife is expected to give birth Friday. ...
