Artem Zub Back In Senators Lineup Thursday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (foot) will end a 16-game absence on Thursday against Dallas. He has been activated from long-term Injured Reserve ahead of the contest. Zub will rejoin the action on the third defensive pairing, linking up with Tyler Kleven. The team wants to ease Zub back into action. Once he finds his feet again, Zub should head back to the first defensive pairing. Zub has had some really bad luck with injuries and will make only his 12th appearance of the season on Thursday. He has recorded two assists, 13 shots, 19 blocks, and 16 hits. Nikolas Matinpalo will come out of the lineup to make room for Zub.

Artem Zub Out With Fractured Foot

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub has suffered a fracture in his foot and will be out for "a while," according to head coach Travis Green. Zub has already missed time with a concussion this season, seeing action in only 11 games. He has posted two assists with 13 shots, 19 blocks, and 16 hits. Zub's injury means a likely promotion to the first defensive pairing for Travis Hamonic, who filled in for the Russian when he was out of the lineup earlier in the season. Hamonic is very defensive-minded and lacks fantasy value. Jacob Bernard-Docker is expected to return to the lineup on the third defensive pairing on Monday versus Calgary.

Artem Zub Rejoins Senators Lineup Thursday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (concussion) will be back in the lineup on Thursday against the Islanders. After recovering from a concussion, Zub was back in practice on Monday, and now he's ready for some game action. He has been limited to three appearances this season, sitting out nine games because of the concussion. The Russian blue-liner had a career year with 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) in 69 games last season, but he is primarily a physical force rather than an offensive threat. He will partner Jake Sanderson on the first defensive pairing, with Travis Hamonic dropping down to the third pairing. Jacob Bernard-Docker will be a healthy scratch on Thursday.

Artem Zub Remains Out On Tuesday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (concussion) will miss a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday against Buffalo. He rejoined practice on Monday, and there was a chance that Zub might be ready to jump back into action against the Sabres, but his comeback will be delayed for at least one more game. Zub's next chance to return comes on Thursday in a matchup against the Islanders. Jacob Bernard-Docker will likely have to make way for the Russian veteran in the lineup, while Travis Hamonic will be bumped down to the third defensive pairing.

Artem Zub Logs Full Practice On Monday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (concussion) was a full participant in Monday's practice. A concussion has knocked the Russian blue-liner out for eight games, but it looks like he could be back in action when the Senators visit Buffalo on Tuesday. Zub was an impactful two-way player for Ottawa last season, notching 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) with 85 shots, 122 blocks, and 139 hits. He was one of only three regular defensemen with a positive plus/minus rating on the team. The concussion has limited Zub to three appearances this campaign.

Artem Zub Out At Least One Week With A Concussion

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub has been diagnosed with a concussion and will miss at least one week of action. Zub was injured in Monday's matchup against Los Angeles. The Russian defenseman has a history of concussions, so it is very unfortunate that he suffered another one. Ottawa has three games coming up in the next seven days. Jacob Bernard-Docker is poised to slot into the lineup as Zub's replacement. The 24-year-old is a shot-blocking machine but doesn't offer anything else to fantasy managers.

Artem Zub Exits With Injury Monday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub sustained an upper-body injury on Monday against the Kings. He was injured early on after logging only four shifts. Zub has accompanied Jake Sanderson on the top defensive pairing to start the season, averaging close to 20 minutes per game. Nick Jensen saw a big boost in playing time without Zub on Monday. Jensen has collected assists in back-to-back games, and a promotion to the first pairing would boost his fantasy value. Meanwhile, Jacob Bernard-Docker is poised to enter the lineup on Thursday versus New Jersey if Zub needs time off to recover.

Artem Zub Nursing A Lower-Body Injury

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub has sustained a lower-body injury, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports. Zub has missed a lot of time in recent campaigns and is, unfortunately, dealing with another issue. However, it's not yet clear how severe the injury is. The Russian blue-liner was limited to 69 appearances last season but still enjoyed a career year offensively with 25 points (five goals, 20 assists). Additionally, he placed third on the team with 139 hits and produced 122 blocks.

Artem Zub To Return To Action Friday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (lower body) will return to the lineup for Friday's home game versus the Arizona Coyotes. The right-shot blue-liner has missed the past three games with a lower-body injury. He skated with Jake Sanderson on a pair during Friday's morning skate. "That's a good addition," Senators interim head coach Jacques Martin said of Zub. "I think he really helps settle our defense, settle one pair. I think that's a key member of our penalty killing. So I think that will be a big help." The 28-year-old has three goals and 20 points across 44 games this season while adding 89 hits and 78 shots on goal. Thomas Chabot and Tim Stutzle will both dress after the duo missed Thursday's practice for maintenance.

Artem Zub Returns From One-Game Absence

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (illness) is set to return to the lineup for Thursday's battle against Buffalo. The 28-year-old was forced to skip Tuesday's matchup versus Calgary with an illness. Zub is one of only a few Senators players who can be happy with their contributions in 2023-24. He's recorded 11 points (three goals, eight assists) across 28 games with 34 shots on goal, 46 hits, and 49 blocks. The Russian rearguard has never averaged over 0.30 points per game and is on pace for a career year offensively.

Artem Zub Could Return Wednesday Versus Maple Leafs

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (concussion) could return to the lineup when the club visits the rival Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night. Zub took a puck to the head during Ottawa's 6-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Oct. 18 but practiced in a regular jersey alongside Jake Sanderson on Monday morning. "Obviously, we'll wait to see after if everything's good, but he looked really good to me out there and it looks like he's ready to go," Senators head coach D.J. Smith said on Monday. The 28-year-old has appeared in four games this season, tallying a goal and three points along with eight hits and nine blocked shots. With just 49 points in 185 career games, Zub remains off the fantasy radar but he has contributed a strong 383 hits and 270 blocked shots in that time, as well.

Artem Zub Remains Out For Next Few Games

Ottawa Senators defenseman Martin Zub (upper body) still isn't cleared for game action after taking a puck to the ear on October 18. It seemed like Zub was getting ready to make his return when he was deemed questionable for Thursday's game, but he ended up being ruled out and head coach DJ Smith said today that he will miss at least the next few games as well. When he does return, Zub will carry value in bangers leagues that count hits and blocks.

Artem Zub Unavailable For Saturday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (upper body) will miss his first game of the season Saturday versus Detroit. The Russian blue-liner was hit in the ear area by an Alex Ovechkin shot in Wednesday's meeting with Washington and will have to sit after enjoying an excellent start to the season. Zub has notched three points (one goal, two assists) in four games with eight hits, nine blocks, and a plus-three rating. He's meshed superbly with Jake Sanderson, who's also had an impressive start to the campaign with five points (two goals, three assists) in four games. Sanderson might slow down now with a new running mate, with Senators head coach D.J. Smith calling Zub's absence a "huge loss."

Artem Zub Exits With Injury Wednesday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub was forced to leave Wednesday's matchup against Washington early after getting hit by a puck. He took an Alex Ovechkin shot up high and exited after logging 14:11 of ice. Zub played his part in a big 6-1 win with a goal and two blocked shots. The Senators didn't have an update on him postgame, leaving Zub's status for Saturday's contest against Detroit up in the air. If he can't play, the Russian blue-liner will mainly be missed at the defensive end, but Zub has also enjoyed a good start offensively this season, posting three points (one goal, two assists) in four games.

Artem Zub Ruled Out For Monday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's contest against Colorado and has already been ruled out for Monday's clash with St. Louis. He exited after logging 13:30 of ice time and was a minus-two in a big 7-0 loss. Zub was playing in only his seventh game since returning from a fractured jaw and health issues have limited him to just 21 games this season. With six points posted with 22 shots, 67 hits and 23 blocks, Zub isn't much of a fantasy factor, but he has been the running mate of Thomas Chabot on the first defensive pairing, and Chabot's performance might also dip without him.

Artem Zub On Track To Return Saturday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (jaw) is set to return to action Saturday. He suffered a small fracture in his jaw in a game against the Rangers on Dec. 2 and it's forced Zub to watch 12 games from the sidelines. Injuries have badly affected the whole campaign for Zub, as he has taken the ice for only 14 games. The Russian blue-liner has tallied two goals and two assists, so he's not really a factor offensively, but Zub's work this season also includes 52 hits. He should rejoin Thomas Chabot on the first defensive pairing when he is cleared to play.

Artem Zub Out With A Broken Jaw

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub has been ruled out for 3-4 weeks with a broken jaw. He was hit in the face with the puck last Friday against the Rangers and it's caused a small fracture in his jaw. Zub already sat out one game and it looks like he will miss at least 10 more. The Russian rearguard also missed some time earlier in the season with an upper-body injury and has skated in only 14 games. He's been the trusted partner of Thomas Chabot on the first defensive pairing, but Nikita Zaitsev has now taken over Zub's role. Zaitsev has played in just nine games this season, posting one assist, and it should be safe to leave him on the waiver wire.

Artem Zub Comes Off Injured Reserve

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub (upper body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and looks set to rejoin the lineup for Saturday's matchup against New Jersey. He's sat out the past nine games while dealing with an upper-body ailment. The Russian rearguard skated with Erik Brannstrom in Friday's practice, and the team has reassigned Nikita Zaitsev to the AHL, which is a further sign that Zub is game-ready again. The 27-year-old isn't rostered in many fantasy leagues, but he's been a big presence for Ottawa on the defensive side of things with 27 hits in seven games and the team has clearly missed him, losing seven of the games he hasn't been able to play.

Artem Zub Out For 1-2 Weeks

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub has been ruled out for 1-2 weeks with an upper-body injury. He was hurt after Thursday's loss to Minnesota and now looks set to miss three games at minimum. The Russian rearguard plays a massive part on the Senators blue line, averaging close to 22 minutes of ice time per game and gladly doing all the dirty work. He leads the team with 27 hits while having also contributed a little offensively by getting a goal and two assists in seven games. Nikita Zaitsev is fresh back from injury and could now find himself on the top defensive pairing with Thomas Chabot.
