Zub (knee) suffered a setback during training camp, according to Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet on Monday.
Zub has been skating on his own, but he won't be ready for the start of the 2026-27 campaign. There is currently no timeline for his return. Zub registered five goals, 30 points, 92 shots on net, 57 PIM, 66 hits and 120 blocked shots in 81 regular-season appearances with Ottawa in 2025-26.
