Zub will miss at least a week after being diagnosed with a concussion, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Based on Zub's timeline, the blueliner can be expected to be out of action for at least Ottawa's next three contests. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be surprised to see him land on injured reserve in the coming days. The 29-year-old Russian is pointless through three games this year while contributing just three hits and one block. Jacob Bernard-Docker should slot into the third pairing with Zub on the shelf.

Zub suffered an upper-body injury and won't return to Monday's matchup with Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Zub played just four shifts (2:38 of ice time) in Monday's game before being forced to leave the game due to his upper-body issue. If the blueliner missed any additional action, it could mean a significant uptick in minutes for Nick Jensen while Jacob Bernard-Docker would likely make his 2024-25 season debut.

Zub (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's exhibition matchup versus Montreal, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

EDGE Analysis

Zub accounted for five goals, 25 points, 85 shots on net, 122 blocked shots and 139 hits across 69 regular-season outings in 2023-24. If he stays healthy in 2024-25, the 28-year-old blueliner could be among Ottawa's ice-time leaders, though he will mostly see action in defensive situations.

There's been no update on Zub's (lower body) status, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia, and he consequently isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game against Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Zub's next chance to play would be Sunday against Pittsburgh. He recorded five goals, 25 points, 32 PIM, 139 hits and 122 blocks in 69 contests with Ottawa in 2023-24.

Zub is being evaluated after sustaining a lower-body injury, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Zub had five goals, 25 points, 139 hits and 122 blocks in 69 games with Ottawa in 2023-24. Travis Hamonic isn't a certainty to serve on the Senators' top six when their campaign starts Oct. 10 versus Florida, but if Zub ends up missing that contest, then Hamonic will likely dress.

Zub notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Zub has helpers in back-to-back games for the first time since Dec. 19-21, though he has three multi-assist efforts in that span. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to 22 points in 48 contests, matching his career high from 81 outings in 2021-22. He's added 60 shots on net, 98 hits, 85 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating as a reliable top-four blueliner this season.

Zub posted an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Zub picked up his first point in five games with the primary assist on Mark Kastelic's first-period tally. The 28-year-old Zub isn't very consistent on offense, but his defensive play keeps him in a top-four role. For the season, the defenseman has 21 points -- one shy of his career high -- with 57 shots on net, 98 hits, 83 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 47 appearances.

Zub (lower body) will be back in the lineup versus Arizona on Friday, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

EDGE Analysis

Zub has missed the last three games and will replace Travis Hamonic (undisclosed) on the third pairing. Zub has three goals and 20 points - all at even-strength -- in 44 games this season.

Zub (lower body) won't play Tuesday against the Predators, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub will miss a third straight game with his lower-body issue. Travis Hamonic will likely continue to skate on the third pairing until Zub, who's collected 20 points through 44 games this season, is ready to return.

Zub (lower body) isn't expected to play Monday versus Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Zub is poised to miss his second straight contest due to a nagging lower-body issue. He has collected three goals, 20 points, 50 shots on net, 78 blocked shots and 89 hits over 44 appearances this season. As a result of Zub's absence, Travis Hamonic is projected to play against the Capitals.
