The Ottawa Senators have a couple of big problems on their hands in the coming days: Figure out how to win hockey games on the West Coast, plus somehow replace injured defenceman Artem Zub. First, the injury.

The Ottawa Senators will be without top-pairing defenseman Artem Zub for the foreseeable future. Zub was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday morning after suffering a fracture in his foot. The 29-year-old blocked three shots and played 21:30 in the Senators’ 4-3 loss against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night.

Zub won't play Monday against Calgary and is out indefinitely due to a fractured foot, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports. Zub didn't practice Sunday after blocking a shot in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Vancouver.

Brady Tkachuk’s power-play goal early in the third period stood as the winner as the Ottawa Senators held on for a 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Monday night.

The Ottawa Senators five-game losing slide is finally over. Cole Reinhardt got his first NHL goal to help the Senators defeat the Calgary Flames, 4-3. The win allows the Sens to salvage something from their now-completed four-game homestand.
