Zub (foot) returned to action Thursday in a 4-2 loss to Dallas. He played 13:30 with one blocked shot and one shot.

EDGE Analysis

Zub hadn't played since Nov. 23. He had his best season in 2023-24 with 25 points (five goals), but he has just two assists in 12 games so far. Don't pick him up yet, but remember Zub's name for your last roster spot when you need some hits and blocks.

Zub (foot) was activated from long-term injured reserve on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub will return to the lineup for the first time since Nov. 23, a span of 16 games. The blueliner had two assists, 16 hits and 19 blocked shots in 11 games before his injury. Look for Zub to line up on the third pairing, alongside Tyler Kleven.

Zub (foot) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ottawa recalled Donovan Sebrango from AHL Belleville in a corresponding move. Zub sustained a fractured foot following a blocked shot in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Vancouver.

Zub has compiled two assists, 13 shots on goal, 19 blocked shots and 16 hits through 11 appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis

Zub didn't practice Sunday after blocking a shot in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Vancouver. A timeline for his return is unclear, but he will be out for a while. Travis Hamonic will move up to the top pairing alongside Jake Sanderson, while Jacob Bernard-Docker will return to the lineup. Zub has accounted for two assists, 13 shots on goal, 19 blocked shots and 16 hits through 11 appearances this season.

Zub put up two assists in a 3-0 win over Toronto on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

They were his first assists and points of the year. Zub also threw two hits and fired two shots. He missed nine games to a concussion, so expect him to take some time to get back into game action. Zub's career mark of 25 points was set last season in Ottawa (five goals, 20 assists; 69 games). Interesting fantasy trivia -- Zub has played 256 games in the NHL without registering a power-play point.

Zub (concussion) will be in the lineup to face the Islanders on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub is set to return to the top pairing alongside Jake Sanderson after having missed the last nine games due to his concussion. Prior to getting hurt, the 29-year-old blueliner had yet to get his name on the scoresheet through three appearances while chipping in just three hits, four shots and one block. At this point, Zub may face an uphill battle to get over the 20-point threshold again this year.

Zub (concussion) might be available Thursday versus the Islanders, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Zub hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 14. He has no points, three hits and a block in three appearances in 2024-25. If Zub draws back into the lineup Thursday, then Jacob Bernard-Docker might serve as a healthy scratch.

Zub (concussion) won't be available for Tuesday's road game against the Senators, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub will miss his ninth consecutive game due to the injury, but he appears to be nearing a return after practicing with the team Monday. The right-shot blueliner will likely replace Jacob Bernard-Docker in the lineup once given the all-clear.

Zub (concussion) practiced Monday and could return to the lineup sooner rather than later, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

EDGE Analysis

Zub has missed the last eight games and might be ready to play as early as Tuesday versus Buffalo, according to Garrioch. The 29-year-old defender hasn't earned a point in three appearances this season, but he has provided four shots on goal, one blocked shot and three hits. Once he's healthy, Zub will probably replace Jacob Bernard-Docker in the lineup.

Zub (concussion) began skating Thursday but has yet to rejoin his teammates at practice, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, Zub is unlikely to be in the lineup against the Rangers or Kraken on Friday or Saturday, respectively, considering the team is unlikely to hold a practice between the back-to-back. Still, it's a step in the right direction for the 29-year-old blueliner, who has already missed six games due to his concussion. Jacob Bernard-Docker, who has played in all six games without Zub, should continue to see minutes for the time being.
