Artem Zub - Page 3 - NHL News & Rumors

Might play Thursday Zub (concussion) might be available Thursday versus the Islanders, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia on Wednesday.

Impact Zub hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 14. He has no points, three hits and a block in three appearances in 2024-25. If Zub draws back into the lineup Thursday, then Jacob Bernard-Docker might serve as a healthy scratch.

Won't play Tuesday Zub (concussion) won't be available for Tuesday's road game against the Senators, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

Impact Zub will miss his ninth consecutive game due to the injury, but he appears to be nearing a return after practicing with the team Monday. The right-shot blueliner will likely replace Jacob Bernard-Docker in the lineup once given the all-clear.

Practices Monday Zub (concussion) practiced Monday and could return to the lineup sooner rather than later, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

Impact Zub has missed the last eight games and probably won't play Tuesday versus Buffalo. The 29-year-old defender hasn't earned a point in three appearances this season, but he has provided four shots on goal, one blocked shot and three hits. Once he's healthy, Zub will probably replace Jacob Bernard-Docker in the lineup.

Skating solo Zub (concussion) began skating Thursday but has yet to rejoin his teammates at practice, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact At this point, Zub is unlikely to be in the lineup against the Rangers or Kraken on Friday or Saturday, respectively, considering the team is unlikely to hold a practice between the back-to-back. Still, it's a step in the right direction for the 29-year-old blueliner who has already missed six games due to his concussion. Jacob Bernard-Docker, who has played in all six games without Zub, should continue to see minutes for the time being.

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

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

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Thursday 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.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Zub will miss a third straight game with his lower-body issue. Travos 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.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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 blocks and 89 hits over 44 appearances this season. As a result of Zub's absence, Travis Hamonic is projected to play against the Capitals.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Supplies pair of helpers 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.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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 gsames this season.

FEBRUARY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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. Zub has three goals and 18 points in 40 contests this season.

FEBRUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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, and 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.

JANUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three helpers against San Jose 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.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play against Sabres Zub (illness) is slated to return to the lineup versus Buffalo on Thursday.

Impact 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 Thursday.

JANUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Zub (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Flames.

Impact Zub missed Monday's practice with a flu bug, and now he'll have to sit out a game as well. Jacob Bernard-Docker is expected to play Tuesday, while Travis Hamonic is set for a bump up to the top four in Zub's absence.
