The Ottawa Senators announced a significant signing on Wednesday.
Earlier this morning, the Senators signed defenseman Artem Zub to a large extension. As per Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic:
4 x $4.6M AAV as announced by the club. Important signing for the Senators.
Zub, 27, signed with Ottawa out of the KHL prior to the 2020-21 NHL season. In 142 games, he has registered 11 goals, 29 assists, a plus-four rating and 296 hits.
The right-hand shot defenseman is quietly one of the stronger shutdown guys in the league.
