Senators' Chabot Expected to Miss One to Two Weeks With Upper-Body Injury

Thomas Chabot is expected to miss one to two weeks because of an upper-body injury, Senators coach Travis Green said Monday. Green noted the injury may have happened in the game before Chabot exited Saturday's loss to Philadelphia. Ottawa, sitting at 6-3-0, may begin life without its captain Wednesday against Florida.

Ottawa captain Thomas Chabot is likely to sit out one to two weeks due to an upper-body issue, coach Travis Green indicated Monday. Green suggested the problem may have begun a game earlier, though Chabot exited Saturday’s Philadelphia loss in the second period and did not return. A first-period play involving Trevor Zegras’s skate near Chabot’s right wrist or hand drew attention, and he appeared uncomfortable in the penalty box.

Chabot logged 12:03 across 16 shifts against the Flyers. Through nine games, he had one goal and three assists while averaging over 25 minutes, about three more than any other Senator. Ottawa is 6-3-0, with Wednesday against Florida likely his first absence. Jake Sanderson is expected back Wednesday after missing eight games.
