Artem Zub Expected to Miss Start of Season as Rehab Continues

Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub is not expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, according to head coach Travis Green. Zub continues to recover from an injury suffered five months ago during Game 1 of the playoff series against the Carolina Hurricanes. His extended rehabilitation leaves a significant void on the right side of Ottawa's top-four defense corps, forcing the team to rely on younger options like Carter Yakemchuk to fill the roster opening out of camp.
