Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot could return from a lower-body injury this weekend, according to interim head coach Jacques Martin. The team hosts the New Jersey Devils on Saturday before traveling to Washington to take on the Capitals on Sunday. Chabot hasn't appeared since departing a 6-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on March 27. "Thomas is getting close," Martin said. "I think he's had some good skates yesterday and today." The eight-year NHL veteran has recorded eight goals and 28 points across 44 games on the season, missing time due to various ailments. The Senators are set to miss the postseason again in 2023-24 as they sit 13 points back of the Islanders for the second and final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (leg) will return to the lineup on Sunday versus Buffalo. Chabot has been out of action since suffering a fractured tibia on Dec. 2 against Seattle. Having also broken his hand earlier in the season, the 26-year-old has been limited to only nine appearances in 2023-24. Chabot boasts four assists and 20 blocks for the season. He will join Jake Sanderson on the top defensive pairing and is also poised to skate on the first power-play unit.
Thomas Chabot Activated Off Injured Reserve, Could Play Friday
The Ottawa Senators have activated defenseman Thomas Chabot off of injured reserve and could have him back in its lineup for Friday's road game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The blueliner has missed the last 10 games and last appeared against the New York Islanders on Oct. 26. It's been a relatively quiet offensive season for the 26-year-old in a small sample as he recorded just three assists in seven games along with 18 shots on goal, 17 blocks, and a minus-one rating prior to his injury. His production was likely to take a hit after the acquisition of the offensively-gifted Jacob Chychrun on the back end while Chabot recorded 11 goals and 41 points across 68 games last season. His value remains at its highest in leagues that record blocks.

In seven games this season, the 26-year-old has posted three assists with 18 shots on goal and 17 blocks.

The injury will keep him out for a ninth straight game on Friday versus the Islanders. Chabot logged three points in seven games with 18 shots and 17 blocks before landing on the shelf. He was ruled out for 4-6 weeks after getting injured near the end of October, so Chabot should be ready to go soon.
Thomas Chabot Fractures Hand, Will Miss Multiple Weeks
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot will be out four to six weeks with a fractured hand. Chabot played through Thursday's game, but apparently injured himself at some point and will now miss significant time. The 26-year-old was on the Senators' top pairing and second powerplay unit, so there is a ton of ice time to make up for. Expect Jake Sanderson and Jakob Chychrun to take on even bigger roles than they already were, with Artem Zub (upper body) checking in once he returns from his injury. Chabot's absence will allow Sanderson to solidify his spot on the first powerplay if he can play well.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot missed the end of the season with a broken wrist, it was revealed on Friday. He dropped out of the lineup for the team's final eight regular-season games after breaking a bone in his wrist and also damaging a ligament. The 26-year-old ended up finishing his sixth campaign in the league with 11 goals and 41 points in 68 games, along with 165 shots on goal, 79 hits and 123 blocks. Chabot is expected to be fully healed in time for training camp.
Thomas Chabot, Jakob Chychrun Finished For The Season
Ottawa Senators defensemen Thomas Chabot (upper body) and Jakob Chychrun (hamstring) won't return to the ice this season. The Senators have just been eliminated from playoff contention and there's no need to rush the pair back. Additionally, Ottawa has also announced that Travis Hamonic (lower body) will miss the rest of the season as well, so the team will finish the campaign with a very young blue line. Jake Sanderson has been logging massive minutes recently, including time on the first power-play unit, while Erik Brannstrom, Tyler Kleven and Jacob Bernard-Docker have also been able to gain invaluable experience at the back.

Considering the timeline, the talented blue-liner could be finished for the season, with Ottawa scheduled to play its last game on April 13. Chabot has pushed himself to 41 points with a recent scoring surge, easily positioning himself as the team's most prolific defenseman. Jake Sanderson follows with 28 points, and his numbers could now get a nice boost, as the 20-year-old will be taking over Chabot's role on the first power-play unit. Erik Brannstrom worked with the second unit in Wednesday's practice.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against Colorado. He had to skip Tuesday's game against Edmonton after getting hurt last weekend. Chabot is a huge piece on the Senators blue line, having averaged over 25 minutes per game for the season. He has registered 36 points in 61 games with 158 shots on goal, 69 hits and 107 blocked shots. Chabot should continue to see his normal minutes as Ottawa chases down a playoff spot.

He took a shot off his left leg and finished with only 15:59 of ice time. Chabot averages over 25 minutes for the season, so he was a big miss for the team. His injury will be an even bigger blow if Chabot has to sit out any games. Ottawa returns to action on Tuesday against Edmonton and there should be an update on Chabot prior to the game. If he's out, new boy Jakob Chychrun would become the main man on the blue line, with extra usage in store for Jake Sanderson as well. The Senators also lost forward Mathieu Joseph (lower body) to injury Sunday night.

He has now recorded three three-point efforts since the start of last month, but Chabot has unfortunately done very little in the rest of the games. He was on just two points for February before breaking out Monday. Chabot will try to replicate his effort in a rematch against the Red Wings on Tuesday. He sits on nine goals and 25 assists for the season, having also logged 144 shots, 64 hits and 96 blocks with a minus-10 rating in 54 games.

Two of Chabot's helpers came on the power play. The 26-year-old is now the third blue-liner in franchise history with at least 30 multi-assist games.

The team has badly struggled without him, going 1-4-0 with a 3.80 goals-against average. Chabot sits on six points through 14 games this season and also boasts 34 shots with 20 hits and 22 blocks.

He mentioned Wednesday's visit to Vegas as his likely return spot. Chabot hasn't quite hit his stride yet this season, recording six points in 14 games with 34 shots, 20 hits, 22 blocks and a minus-four rating. Jake Sanderson has logged big minutes in Chabot's absence and should be set for another busy night against the Sharks.

Thomas Chabot Out For At Least A Week With A Concussion
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot has been diagnosed with a concussion and will sit out for at least a week. He exited Saturday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia early following a hit from Travis Konecny. Chabot managed to end a six-game point drought with a goal before exiting. He's a massive piece for the team at both ends of the ice, so this is very bad news for the Senators, who have already struggled a lot. Jake Sanderson moved up to the first defensive pairing in Sunday's practice and looks set to fill the role in at least three games. He's been Ottawa's best-scoring defenseman so far with seven points, and playing bigger minutes should help the 20-year-old to make even more damage.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot suffered an undisclosed injury in Saturday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia. He was hurt at the start of the third period when Chabot took a hit from behind by Philadelphia's Travis Konecny. This was an awful ending to a very good performance after Chabot had posted the game-tying goal in the contest with one shot, one block, one hit and a plus-one rating in 18:27. The 25-year-old hasn't had a lot of success this season, notching only six points, and it would be a shame if Chabot will now be forced to miss time.

The talented rearguard fractured his hand in the middle of March and there were some reports that he might be done for the season, but Ottawa has activated Chabot from Injured Reserve and he's set to feature on Saturday. Chabot will look to add to the 34 points he's collected in 55 games this season. He's also made a big impact defensively with 71 hits and 88 blocks, and the Senators will no doubt be very glad to have him back.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot appeared to have injured his right arm in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Columbus and is set to miss some time. Senators head coach D.J. Smith noted after the game that Chabot will be out "a little bit". Smith has a huge hole to fill now, as Chabot averages nearly 26 and a half minutes of game time and plays a big part at both ends of the ice. He's recorded 34 points, 71 hits and 88 blocks across 55 games this season. Erik Brannstrom logged huge minutes (27:53) without him on Wednesday and looks set for a bigger role until Chabot can make it back to the lineup.
