EDGE Analysis

A flu bug has been making its way through the Senators. It's unclear at this time if Zub will be available to play Tuesday versus Calgary. If he isn't able to suit up, Jacob Bernard-Docker could be paired with Thomas Chabot in Tuesday's contest.

Zub posted an assist in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Zub helped out on Drake Batherson's second-period marker. This was Zub's second straight game with an assist, and he's earned six helpers over 11 contests in December. That accounts for over half of his offense on the year -- 10 points in 21 outings -- and he's added 33 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating while playing a defensive role in the Senators' top four.

Zub logged an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Zub set up Angus Crookshank's first-period tally. With five assists over 10 games in December, Zub has put together a solid month, though offense is rarely the focal point of his game. He's at nine points, 33 hits, 39 blocked shots, 20 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 20 appearances this season, serving as more of a shutdown defenseman in a top-four role.

Zub picked up two assists in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Both helpers came on Brady Tkachuk goals -- Zub's point shot got tipped home in the first period, while his effort in the second was a miscue that sailed wide but wound up caroming off the end boards straight to Tkachuk at the side of the net. It's Zub's first multi-point performance of the season, but the 28-year-old blueliner has been surprisingly productive around a concussion that cost him a few weeks of action, racking up two goals and seven points in 13 games despite a lack of power-play time.

Zub (concussion) is set to play Thursday against Vancouver.

EDGE Analysis

Zub was last in the lineup Oct. 18. He has a goal and three points in four contests this season. Zub is projected to skate on the first pairing alongside Jake Sanderson.

Zub (concussion) won't play Wednesday versus the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Zub practiced Monday and Tuesday, but he won't be in the lineup for the first half of a back-to-back Wednesday. The 28-year-old is likely more in the day-to-day range at this point, and it's possible he could play Thursday versus the Canucks. Nikolas Matinpalo will remain in the lineup with Zub still out.

Zub (concussion) is expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup with Toronto, according to Claire Hanna of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Zub was a full participant at practice Monday and Tuesday, which bodes very well for his potential return to the lineup. Per Hanna, Zub was paired with Jake Sanderson during Tuesday's session. The 28-year-old Zub has been out for the past six games due to a concussion. He has one goal, two assists, nine blocked shots and eight hits in four outings this campaign.

Per Ian Mendes of The Athletic, Zub (upper body) will likely miss another couple of games.

EDGE Analysis

Zub has already missed five games with the injury. He has three points in four contests this season. Look for Zub to possibly be ready to go against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday or Thursday versus the Canucks.

Zub (upper body) has been ruled out of Thursday's tilt versus LA. Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis
