Zub (lower body) won't play Saturday versus Vegas, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

According to TSN 1200, Zub is still dealing with the injury he sustained against Toronto on Feb. 10 despite playing in the past four games. The 28-year-old defender has 20 points, 50 shots on goal, 78 blocks and 89 hits in 44 appearances this season.

Zub recorded two assists, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Zub helped out on Tim Stutzle's first-period tally as well as Mathieu Joseph's game-winner in the middle frame. Zub has racked up a solid nine assists over his last 13 outings, though that's more offense than he usually produces. He's at 20 points, 49 shots on net, 76 hits, 73 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 42 appearances this season. While he plays in a top-four role, the 28-year-old's defensive duties limit his ceiling on offense.

Zub (lower body) is expected to play Saturday versus Chicago, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Zub, who missed the past two games, is projected to be back alongside Jake Sanderson (lower body) in Saturday's contest. The 28-year-old Zub has three goals, 18 points, 68 blocked shots and 79 hits in 40 outings this season.

Zub (lower body) won't play Thursday against Anaheim but could return Saturday versus Chicago, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub will miss a second straight contest with his lower-body issue, but it sounds like he's on the verge of returning. With Zub unavailable, Maxence Guenette will likely draw into the lineup versus the Ducks.

Zub (lower body) didn't skate Wednesday, but he might be in the lineup Thursday versus Anaheim, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

EDGE Analysis

Zub missed Tuesday's 6-3 win over Columbus due to the injury. The Senators dressed just five defensemen in his absence, so they could certainly use his services versus the Ducks. Zub has three goals and 18 points in 40 contests this season.

Zub (lower body) is not expected to play Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Zub's absence means the Senators will have to play short a defenseman due to cap constraints. The 28-year-old has earned seven helpers over his last 11 contests while filling a top-four role, so he will be missed significantly in the lineup. His next chance to play is Thursday versus the Ducks.

Zub (lower body) will be a game-time decision Tuesday against Columbus, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Zub didn't take part in the morning skate after leaving Monday's practice for maintenance. He was injured in Saturday's win over Toronto. Zub has 18 points, 68 blocked shots and 80 hits across 40 outings this season. If he is ruled out, Ottawa would have to play Tuesday's contest with only five defensemen because of salary cap constraints.

Zub recorded two assists in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old blueliner collected a helper on first-period goals by Brady Tkachuk and Tim Stutzle. Zub has five assists in the last three games, but he has only one other multi-point performance on the season. He's unlikely to work his way into power-play time on a roster that's already juggling Jake Sanderson, Thomas Chabot and Jakob Chychrun. Zub's sudden surge of production is nice, but it probably isn't sustainable.

Zub picked up three assists while adding a team-high seven shots on net, two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

It's the first multi-point performance in over a month for Zub, who had just one goal and four points in the 16 games between those outbursts. The 28-year-old blueliner is still headed for a career-best campaign, producing three goals and 14 points in 30 games with 51 blocked shots, 48 hits, 42 shots on goal and a plus-4 rating.

Zub (illness) is slated to return to the lineup versus Buffalo on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Zub will be back after just one game on the shelf due to his illness. With just one goal in his last 23 games to go with six helpers, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting an offensive burst out of the blueliner. With Zub returning and Josh Norris (upper body) unavailable, the Senators will utilize seven defensemen against the Sabres.
