Senators' Artem Zub: Send two assists in win
Rotowire
Zub notched two assists, two PIM and three blocked shots in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.
Zub has picked up the pace with five helpers and a plus-5 rating over his last six games. The 30-year-old defenseman is playing in a top-four role, and there's been a little more room for him offensively in the absence of Jake Sanderson (upper body). Zub has 24 points -- one shy of his career high from 2023-24 -- and he's added 70 shots on net, 58 hits, 92 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 65 outings.

This was Zub's first point in three games since he missed a contest due to a lower-body injury. The defenseman has reclaimed his top-four role and should continue to function as a shutdown blueliner. He has 12 points, 33 shots, 35 hits, 45 blocks, 16 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 29 appearances this season, putting him one point shy of matching his output from 2024-25.

Senators' Artem Zub: Pots goal Thursday
Rotowire
Zub scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flames.
Zub has had a good run of offense recently with a goal and four helpers over his last five games. The 30-year-old is playing in a top-four role, but he's not known for his scoring, so it's unlikely this success will stick in the long run. He's off to a positive start with two goals, eight points, 19 shots on net, 19 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 12 appearances in October. Zub had 13 points in 56 regular-season outings last year and has topped the 20-point mark in just two of his first five NHL campaigns.

Rotowire
Zub notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.
Zub picked up his first point of the postseason on a David Perron tally in the third period. The 29-year-old Zub has added two hits, six blocked shots, three shots on net and a minus-2 rating over four contests.

Senators' Artem Zub: Secures assist Saturday
Rotowire

Zub helped out on Drake Batherson's first-period tally. Over 14 games in March, Zub has racked up three assists, a plus-5 rating and 27 blocked shots. The 29-year-old blueliner serves as a shutdown defenseman in a top-four role, so he shouldn't be expected to do much on offense.

Senators' Artem Zub: Picks up two assists in win
Rotowire
Zub notched two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
The 29-year-old blueliner delivered his first multi-point performance since Nov. 12, helping to set up tallies by Jake Sanderson in the second period and David Perron in the third. Injuries cost Zub significant time over the first three months of the season and severely limited his production, but he's begun to find a groove -- over the last 11 games, he's churned out two goals and six points.

Senators' Artem Zub: Collects shorthanded assist
Rotowire
Zub produced a shorthanded assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.
Zub has a helper in each of the last two contests. The 29-year-old has had a couple of lengthy injury absences this season, but he's handled top-four minutes when healthy. For the season, Zub is at six points, 37 shots on net, 31 hits, 59 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances. He plays in more of a shutdown role, so he won't have much appeal in fantasy.

Senators' Artem Zub: Pots empty-netter Tuesday
Rotowire
Zub scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.
It was the 29-year-old blueliner's first goal of the season, and his first point in seven games since returning from a broken foot he suffered in late November. Zub won't provide much offense, but he can be an asset in fantasy formats that value other categories, producing 18 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-3 rating in those seven contests.
