Leading up to Game 2, head coach Travis Green<\/a> maintained his usual tight-lipped approach to injury updates. Therefore, they hadn’t given an injury update, besides to say he would be a game-time decision. Moreover, Zub had left Game 1, after throwing a solid hit on Canes winger Seth Jarvis<\/a>. Zub only managed a little over a period of action. The Sens were in tough for the rest of the group to step up in his absence.<\/p>\n
