Ilya Zubov (born February 14, 1987, in Chelyabinsk, U.S.S.R.) is a Russian ice hockey player for the Ottawa Senators. His past experience was playing centre for Salavat Yulaev Ufa (Ufa); Moscow Spartak and Mytishi Khimik professional teams in the Russian Super League[1]. Zubov was acquired by the Ottawa Senators 98th overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.[2] The pick had been acquired from the St. Louis Blues for Patrick Lalime.
Zubov publicly stated before the 2007-08 season that he would accept being sent to the Senators' AHL affiliate in Binghamton if he does not make the team in the 2007-08 season.[citation needed] This was expected and that he will have his best attempt at making the NHL team in the subsequent season given Ottawa GM Murray's insistence that he learn "North American hockey."[cite this quote] Zubov was assigned to Binghamton on October 1, 2007.[3]
In his first NHL pre-season game, Zubov scored the first goal in a 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.
