3 months agoOttawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (face) will miss Thursday's game against Washington. Chabot was hit in the face by a puck on Tuesday against the Islanders and will step out of the lineup for the first time this season. It has not been a good year for Chabot, as the 27-year-old has contributed only three goals and 16 assists in 43 games. Donovan Sebrango has been summoned from the minors to step in for Chabot on Thursday. He will join Nick Jensen on the second defensive pairing. Sebrango, who has just turned 23, will make his NHL debut against the Capitals. He has notched 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in 28 AHL outings this term.

3 months agoAccording to the team, Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (head) exited early during Tuesday's contest for precautionary reasons. The 27-year-old was struck by a puck in the face during the opening frame. Before leaving, Chabot logged just four minutes of ice time and tallied one hit and one blocked shot. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Thursday's game against the Washington Capitals. Over his previous four complete games, Chabot has tallied a goal and an assist with ten shots, three hits, and three blocks. If Chabot were to miss time, 23-year-old Maxence Guenette would likely be promoted from the AHL to fill the spot in the lineup.

6 months agoOttawa 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.

7 months agoOttawa 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.
