Artem Zub | Fantasy Outlook
Zub provides defensive stability in Philadelphia after strong return to lineup
Artem Zub made a dependable return to the lineup on Thursday after missing time to begin the season, immediately logging over 18 minutes of ice time with an assist and six blocked shots. Tonight, the veteran blueliner resumes his top-pairing duties as the 6–2–0 Senators head on the road to battle the Flyers at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Ottawa enters the matchup as slight favorites in what projects to be a balanced scoring environment, likely facing Philadelphia goaltender Dan Vladar (unconfirmed). While Zub is deployed primarily for tough defensive matchups and penalty-killing rather than power-play time, his presence stabilizes Ottawa’s blue line.
Translating to fantasy expectations, our projections slate Zub for a modest night, anticipating ~0.5–1.0 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and ~1–2 blocked shots for roughly 2.3 fantasy points. His fantasy utility remains strictly tied to real-world defensive metrics and blocked shots rather than high-octane offensive production, especially without any power-play deployment. Tonight also caps Ottawa's four-game fantasy week, bringing his projected weekly total to 4.4 fantasy points across his two appearances. Unless you are streaming specifically for blocks in deep category leagues, you can look elsewhere. Today’s action: Bench.
