Zub (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, CapFriendly reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub is expected to miss the next week or two after he was injured Thursday against Minnesota. His placement on injured reserve won't affect his return timeline but it will give Ottawa some temporary roster flexibility. Zub has three points while averaging 21:59 of ice time through seven games this season.

Zub will be out 1-2 weeks after suffering an upper-body injury against the Wild on Thursday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub saw 21:14 of action Thursday, the lowest total in five games for the defenseman. He has a goal and two assists in seven games this season and has been partnered with Thomas Chabot on Ottawa's top defensive pairing.

Zub scored once and added an assist in Tuesday's 7-5 victory over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

It was Zub's first two points of the season. He played 24:21, second only to defense partner Thomas Chabot and had three shots on goal in addition to four hits and a plus-three rating.

Zub (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday versus Buffalo, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub will likely skate on the top pairing against the Sabres. The 27-year-old Russian collected 22 points, 155 hits and 124 blocks while averaging 21:02 of ice time through 81 games last campaign.

Zub (undisclosed) didn't practice Monday because of a minor injury, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach D.J. Smith said that Zub tweaked something before the team's session, so the decision was made to keep the Senators defenseman off the ice. Zub is listed as day-to-day, but could be available to play Thursday in Ottawa's first game of the 2022-23 season.

Zub notched an assist, four hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Zub had gone seven games without a point entering Tuesday. He ended that slump with a helper on Parker Kelly's third-period goal. Zub is up to 22 points, 150 hits, 122 blocked shots, 85 shots on net, 54 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 76 contests. He's served in a top-four role throughout the season, though he remains primarily a defensive presence.

Zub (illness) will play Thursday against Boston, per TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zub will return from a one-game absence Thursday. The second-year defenseman has 21 points while averaging 21:20 of ice time through 72 games this season. He'll jump back into a top-four role.

Zub (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Zub will miss at least one game due to the illness. Victor Mete will draw into the lineup in place of Zub, who will aim to be healthy in time for Thursday's game versus the Bruins.

Zub notched an assist and four hits in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Zub had the breakout pass to Brady Tkachuk, who then set up a Connor Brown goal in the third period. The 26-year-old Zub has picked up helpers in each of the last three games after going six contests without a point. He's not the steadiest scorer, but he's at 18 points, 61 shots on net, 113 hits, 108 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 59 outings. Zub will continue to see time in a top-four role as a mainly defensive presence.

Zub delivered an assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Zub has assists in back-to-back games as a complement to his season-long output on the defensive end, where he's compiled 107 blocked shots and 109 hits through 58 games. A top-pairing defenseman, Zub looks quite comfortable in his role, which primarily consists of 5-on-5 action and a key spot on the penalty kill.
