Per reports, the Coyotes did not have to retain any of Zucker's $5.3 million salary.
The trade was made hours before the official NHL trade deadline on Friday at 3 p.m. ET.
The Predators have bolstered their forward depth in the past two days. They acquired forward Anthony Beauvillier from the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft.
Zucker, 32, has recorded 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 51 games this season, his first with the Coyotes. He signed a one-year contract with Arizona in the offseason and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer.
Zucker has totaled 363 points (191 goals, 172 assists) in 679 career games with the Minnesota Wild, Pittsburgh Penguins and Coyotes.
