Artyom Valerievich Zub (Russian: Артём Валерьевич Зуб; given name alternately spelled Artem; born 3 October 1995) is a Russian professional ice hockey defenseman who currently plays for the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career[]
Zub played as a youth with Amurskie Tigry Khabarovsk, the junior affiliate to Amur Khabarovsk. He made his professional debut with Amur Khabarovsk in the Kontinental Hockey League during the 2014–15 season.
During the 2016–17 season, his third with Khabarovsk, Zub contributed with 9 points in 32 games before he was traded to a powerhouse club SKA Saint Petersburg on 1 December 2016.[1] Zub maintained a regular role on the SKA blueline to close out the season. In the post-season, he helped the club claim the Gagarin Cup with 2 assists in 18 games.
Zub's play in the KHL and the Olympics attracted the attention of the National Hockey League's Ottawa Senators. On 1 May 2020, the Senators signed him to an NHL-standard entry-level contract as an undrafted free agent for one season.[2] He scored his first NHL goal in a 6-5 overtime win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on 15 February 2021 at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.[3] In his first season, he was regularly paired on defence with Ottawa's top defenceman Thomas Chabot.
On 14 May 2021, Zub signed a two-year, $5 million extension with the Senators.[4] The fans in attendance at the Canadian Tire Centre have taken to Zub, and now yell "Zuub" when he plays the puck. Zub, due to his limited English had to be reassured by his teammates that he was not being booed, now enjoys it.[5]
