Thomas Chabot, Brady Tkachuk, Tim Stutzle Return To Practice
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (undisclosed) and forwards Brady Tkachuk (upper body) and Tim Stutzle (upper body) returned to practice earlier this week and could play in one of the final preseason games this weekend, according to Claire Hanna of TSN Sports. Hanna noted that head coach Travis Green said he is not "overly concerned" with their status. This is an excellent sign as all three skaters are on track to be ready for the season opener on Thursday when they host the Stanley Cup Champion, Florida Panthers. Both Tkachuk and Stutzle are slated to play on the top line alongside Claude Giroux, while Chabot will play on the second pair with Nick Jensen to open the season.
Thomas Chabot Feeling Good After Playing Two Seasons With Wrist Issue
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (wrist) will be fully healthy for the first time in a long while when the puck drops for the 2024-25 NHL campaign. The talented blue-liner has been dealing with a wrist issue over the past couple of years, but he underwent surgery in May and has said the wrist is now "pretty much good." Chabot, who was an All-Star in 2019, suited up for 51 games last season, notching nine goals and 21 assists. His productivity should improve in 2024-25 if he stays clear of further health issues.
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.

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.
Thomas Chabot Notches Three Points In Monday's Victory
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot had one of his best offensive games of the season Monday against Detroit, posting a goal and two assists in a 6-2 win. 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.
Thomas Chabot Delivers Three Assists In Tuesday's Win

He was a monster all over the ice in 23:46 of ice time, adding four shots, one block and two hits to his line with four penalty minutes and a plus-two rating. 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.

He's now on 15 points in 21 games for the whole campaign with 51 shots, 27 hits and 30 blocks. The Senators have looked better as of late and that should help Chabot to keep going. The start of next week looks particularly juicy, with matchups against Anaheim and Montreal coming up.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (concussion) took part in an optional skate on Thursday and there is hope that he can finally make his return to the lineup Friday versus Anaheim. He has been skating for a while now and there were suggestions of him potentially returning Wednesday against Vegas, but Chabot ended up missing his fifth consecutive game. 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. His return will drop Erik Brannstrom from the first defensive pairing.
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (concussion) will miss a fourth consecutive game Monday versus San Jose. He has been practicing and was eligible to come off Injured Reserve Monday, but Senators head coach D.J. Smith has confirmed that Chabot will have to wait for his comeback for a bit longer. 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. The 20-year-old is among the top-scoring rookies in the league and is tied for the first spot among first-year players with nine assists.
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.
