Zub notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Zub picked up his first point of the postseason on a David Perron tally in the third period. The 29-year-old Zub has added two hits, six blocked shots, three shots on net and a minus-2 rating over four contests. He's playing in a top-four role as a shutdown defenseman, so expected his scoring to be limited while he continues to focus on his own zone.

Zub has two goals, 11 assists, 118 blocked shots and 58 hits over 56 games this season. Look for Travis Hamonic to rejoin the lineup in place of Zub.

Zub notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Zub has three helpers over his last eight outings, and he's added a plus-6 rating and 16 blocked shots in that span. The shutdown defender is at 13 points, 56 shots on net, 114 blocks, 57 hits and a plus-4 rating through 54 contests. While his offense isn't that impressive, his defensive play keeps him in the Senators' top four.

Zub logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Zub helped out on Drake Batherson's first-period tally. Over 14 games in March, Zub has racked up three assists, a plus-5 rating and 27 blocked shots. The 29-year-old blueliner serves as a shutdown defenseman in a top-four role, so he shouldn't be expected to do much on offense. He's at 11 points, 49 shots on net, 49 hits, 100 blocks, 26 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 47 appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis
Zub ended a five-game point drought with the helper on Michael Amadio's empty-netter. The 29-year-old Zub continues to serve as a stay-at-home defender in a top-four role. He's earned nine points, 39 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 37 hits and a minus-5 rating over 34 contests in an injury-plagued campaign.

Zub notched two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old blueliner delivered his first multi-point performance since Nov. 12, helping to set up tallies by Jake Sanderson in the second period and David Perron in the third. Injuries cost Zub significant time over the first three months of the season and severely limited his production, but he's begun to find a groove -- over the last 11 games, he's churned out two goals and six points.

Zub produced a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Zub has a helper in each of the last two contests. The 29-year-old has had a couple of lengthy injury absences this season, but he's handled top-four minutes when healthy. For the season, Zub is at six points, 37 shots on net, 31 hits, 59 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances. He plays in more of a shutdown role, so he won't have much appeal in fantasy.

Zub scored a goal on his only shot in Sunday's 2-1 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
Zub scored the game-winning goal Sunday, beating Jacob Markstrom with a wrist shot from the point on the blocker side early in the third period. Zub added one hit, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 21:48 of ice time. The right-shot blueliner has netted two goals over his last four outings, but he hasn't registered a helper since Nov. 12. Zub has contributed two goals and four points through 21 appearances this campaign, which was interrupted by a fractured foot that sidelined him for 16 games from Nov. 25 to Dec. 29.

Zub scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
It was the 29-year-old blueliner's first goal of the season, and his first point in seven games since returning from a broken foot he suffered in late November. Zub won't provide much offense, but he can be an asset in fantasy formats that value other categories, producing 18 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-3 rating in those seven contests.
