At the point the NHL season was suspended March 12, the Ottawa Senators had allowed 243 goals, the second-most in the league, through 71 games. That's part of the reason they had only 62 points, the second-worst in the NHL.
However, the Senators appear set to be getting a defensive boost for next season.
According to TSN's Darren Dreger, Ottawa is expected to sign KHL defenseman Artyom Zub, a 24-year-old who is ready to leave SKA Saint Petersburg for the NHL. Dreger stated that Zub "has the potential to be a top-four shutdown" blueliner.
