2025 Fantasy Outlook
Zub logs big minutes for the Senators, but injuries consistently limit his value. He has been in the league for five years and has logged at least 70 regular-season games just once. In 2024-25, Zub had two goals, 13 points, 34 PIM, 57 shots, 58 hits and 118 blocks in 56 regular-season outings with Ottawa. That was a new career low for him in terms of hits, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him rebound with over 100 this season. However, 20-25 points is about the best fantasy managers can hope for from him in terms of scoring, and given his injury history, he'll likely finish well below that range. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $18.4 million contract extension with the Senators in December of 2022.
Not an option Monday
Zub (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Game 2 against the Hurricanes on Monday, Graeme Nichols of The Hockey News reports.
ANALYSIS
Zub will be replaced in the lineup by Lassi Thomson, who will skate alongside Dennis Gilbert in a third-pairing role, while Nikolas Matinpalo will work on the No. 1 pairing with Jake Sanderson. Zub will have a few days to attempt to be ready for Thursday's Game 3, which will be played in Ottawa.

Reliability has never exactly been a part of Zub's game, as he once again failed to reach the 70-game mark for the third time in his four-year NHL career. Still, in his 69 outings last year, the puck-moving blueliner set a new personal best with his 20 assists and 25 points while averaging 21:01 of ice time. Without a role on the power play, the 28-year-old Russian's offensive productivity figures to remain limited with his ceiling likely in the 30-35 point range - assuming he could actually play a full 82-game season. Zub does offer added fantasy value in formats that utilize defensive stats, as he should continue to rack up plenty of hits and blocked shots after posting 139 and 122, respectively, last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to return Thursday
Zub, who has missed the last nine games with a concussion suffered Oct. 14 against Los Angeles, is expected to return to the lineup against the Islanders on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
ANALYSIS
Zub is slated to play alongside Jake Sanderson on the top unit. Zub was held without a point in his first three games of the season, but he is capable of some offense, as he had five goals and 25 points over 69 regular-season games in 2023-24.
