Zub registered an assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Despite assists in back-to-back games, Zub likely isn't someone that fantasy managers will turn to for offense down the stretch. The 26-year-old barely garners any time on the power play, and he's been comparatively more consistent in his own zone with 86 hits and 88 blocked shots through 48 games.

Zub and the Senators will not play Monday after the game was postponed because of COVID issues facing Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
The game was rescheduled for Saturday, as the Senators are already in Western Canada to play the Oilers and Flames on this trip. Zub has just two points since Thanksgiving, but in fairness, the Senators have also played just once since Dec. 18.

Zub scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 7-5 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Zub tallied at 19:14 of the first period to tie the game at 2-2. With Josh Brown (upper body) exiting early, Zub played 25:14 in the contest, though he's no stranger to big minutes. The Russian blueliner has a goal, five assists, 17 shots on net, 28 hits and 38 blocked shots through 16 outings. The physicality could make him an intriguing depth option in deeper fantasy formats, but he doesn't score enough to help in standard pools.
