Chabot (upper body) won't play against the Kings on Monday, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.
Chabot is day-to-day and will sit out at least one game. He missed three straight contests before returning to the lineup in Saturday's 3-2 win over San Jose, but he might have aggravated the injury. Chabot has collected two goals, 10 points, 22 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 13 hits in 18 appearances this season. Nikolas Matinpalo (undisclosed) is expected to replace Chabot in Monday's lineup versus the Kings.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Appears to aggravate injury
Rotowire
Chabot looked to aggravate his upper-body injury in Saturday's game versus the Sharks, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Chabot appeared to tweak something late in the third period and didn't take a shift after that happened. However, he talked to the media after the game, telling Murray Pam of Hockey Hot Stove that he "felt great" upon returning to the lineup Saturday. Typically, players with injuries will not be interviewed after games, so this suggests Chabot may have escaped a serious issue. That said, fantasy managers will want to check on his availability for Monday's game versus the Kings.

Chabot (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
Chabot sustained an upper-body injury during last Tuesday's game against the Stars, and the Senators announced Thursday that the defenseman was expected to miss approximately two weeks.

Rotowire

Chabot's timeline isn't set in stone, but he's a little worse off than day-to-day after sustaining an injury Tuesday versus the Stars. The 28-year-old's absence will test the Senators' defensive depth in the short term, but it should give Jordan Spence a chance to prove himself in the lineup.

Chabot left Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Dallas because of the injury. He has two goals and 10 points in 17 appearances this season. Chabot's injury should result in Nikolas Matinpalo drawing into the lineup after spending Ottawa's past three games as a healthy scratch.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Reaches 30-assist mark
Rotowire
Chabot notched an assist and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 3-0 win over Florida.
Chabot helped Ottawa inch closer to securing a playoff spot when he set up Matthew Highmore's empty-netter to seal the win. As a result of that insurance tally, the 28-year-old Chabot reached the 30-assist mark for the fifth time in his nine-year NHL career. The 2015 first-round selection has accumulated six goals, 36 points and a plus-12 rating across 75 appearances in 2024-25. Even though Jake Sanderson has taken over as Ottawa's No. 1 defenseman, Chabot is still capable of chipping in offensively when needed. The Senators' remaining schedule is far from a gauntlet, and Chabot could provide meaningful value for fantasy managers down the stretch.
