Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub agreed to a four-year, $18.4 million contract extension on Wednesday.
Per the Senators, Zub will receive $4 million in 2023-24 and $4.8 million the following three seasons. The contract extension also includes a 10-team no-trade list.
Zub, 27, currently is competing in the final season of a two-year, $5 million contract. He has two goals and two assists in 27 games this season, however he is sidelined by a fractured jaw.
“Artem’s transition to North American hockey has been remarkable,” Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said. “He has worked hard to establish himself as an excellent NHL player and a strong defender. He consistently helps make us a better defensive team while he’s on the ice. We’re pleased to reach agreement with him on an extension of this length.”
Zub has totaled 40 points (11 goals, 29 assists) in 142 career games with Ottawa.
Zub won a gold medal as part of the Olympic Athletes from Russia team at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
