Arten Zub missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but is expected to return to the Senators' lineup Saturday. In seven games this season, Zub has three points (1G/2A) and is a +2 plus/minus with six SOG.

Artem Zub will miss at least a week after it was announced Friday that he sustained an upper-body injury. It is a big loss for the Senators as Zub was playing 21:59 ATOI and was +2 with three points (1G/2A) in his first seven games prior to the injury.

Zub was forced to leave Thursday's game with an upper-body injury but was on the ice for Saturday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Penguins.

Zub came over from the KHL this offseason after scoring 13 goals with nine assists (22 points) in 57 games with St. Petersburg SKA. The 25-year-old undrafted free agent is expected to replace Thomas Chabot, who is doubtful with an undisclosed injury.

Zub was an undrafted free agent defenseman out of Russia, who is coming off of a career-year in the KHL. The 24-old set new career-highs in goals (13), assists (9) and points (22) in 57 games with St. Petersburg SKA. In 2018 he represented Russia in the Olympics, where he had four assists in six games to help the team win gold.
