Not playing Saturday Chabot (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Sharks.
Out Thursday Chabot is expected to miss Thursday's game against LA because of a lower-body injury, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Chabot logged 24:26 of ice time in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Anaheim, but it appears he aggravated a previous injury in the process, according to Ian Mendes of The Athletic. The 27-year-old defenseman has six goals, 22 points, 31 hits and 75 blocks in 38 contests this season. Due to Chabot being unavailable, Maxence Guenette might draw into the lineup Thursday.

May have aggravated injury Chabot (undisclosed) will be evaluated ahead of Thursday's game versus the Kings after possible aggravating a previous injury, Ian Mendes of The Athleticreports
Impact The 27-year-old defenseman led the Senators with 24:26 of ice time in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks, but he may not be 100 percent after the contest. Chabot hasn't missed a game with the issue yet, but he was a game-time decision twice last weekend due to the injury.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Nets nice one-timer Chabot (undisclosed) scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
Impact He was a game-time decision Saturday, but played a game-high 26:02. Chabot scored with the extra attacker on the ice on a one-timer from the bottom of the right circle. It pulled the Sens to 3-2, but they couldn't find the equalizer. Chabot is a big-ticket defender who often finds himself sidelined with injury. He's played just one full season, and it was the COVID-19 shortened 2019-20 (71 games). Chabot is a talent, but you need a contingency plan when you have him on your squad.
MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Saturday Chabot (undisclosed) is set to play Saturday versus the Flyers, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Chabot was deemed a game-time decision, but he'll suit up Saturday after also being questionable before playing Friday versus the Coyotes. The Senators will have seven defensemen on hand with Maxence Guenette in the lineup while Brady Tkachuk (upper body) sits out Saturday. That lineup composition could allow the team to build in some relief for Chabot if his lingering issue flares up during the game.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Game-time decision Chabot (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Saturday against Philadelphia, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Chabot is still a bit banged up despite logging 22:46 of ice time in Friday's 5-3 loss to Arizona. He has produced five goals, 21 points, 85 shots on net and 73 blocked shots over 36 appearances this season. If Chabot can't play Saturday, Maxence Guenette will draw into the lineup.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Playing Friday Chabot (undisclosed) will be in the lineup versus Arizona on Friday, according to Ian Mendes of The Athletic.
Impact Chabot was at morning practice, so it's no surprise that he is ready to go. Chabot has five goals, 16 assists and 73 blocked shots in 35 NHL games this season.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Being evaluated for injury Chabot is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury Wednesday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Chabot logged 20:01 of ice time Tuesday versus the Predators, so it's unclear when he was hurt. Head coach Jacques Martin reported that "some" of Chabot, Josh Norris (upper body) and Jake Sanderson (undisclosed) are scheduled for MRIs and doctor visits Wednesday. Chabot should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game versus the Coyotes.
FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Two-point effort Tuesday Chabot scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers.
Impact Both points came in the third period as he dragged the Senators out of a 2-0 deficit to earn a point in the standings. Chabot has been a steady contributor over the last month, recording two goals and eight points in the last 12 games with exactly half that production coming on the power play. The 27-year-old blueliner has missed significant time this season due to injuries, but if he's able to stay healthy he should be able to put together a strong finish to the campaign.
FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Two-point night in OT loss Chabot scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in a 3-2 overtime loss to Boston. He fired seven shots.
Impact Both points came on the power play. Chabot's goal came at 19:32 of the second period to get the Sens on the board with some momentum as they headed to the final frame. The goal was Chabot's second of the season (22 games; two goals, 11 assists). The seven shots were a season high for the smooth defender. Chabot has been hampered by injury pretty much every season of his career. He should be a solid performer going forward as long as he stays healthy. But remember to downgrade him a touch at draft next fall -- you can't win with your stud defender in the infirmary for too long.

Contributes assist in loss Chabot posted an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Chabot has three helpers over two contests since he returned from a leg injury. The defenseman has had trouble staying healthy this season, but he's been useful for fantasy managers with eight assists across 11 outings. He's added 31 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Chabot should see top-four minutes and power-play time, making him a solid option in standard fantasy formats.

Two helpers in return Chabot picked up two assists in Sunday's 5-1 win over Buffalo.
Impact The 26-year-old blueliner added two shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating to his ledger in his first action since Dec. 2. Chabot missed 12 contests in between due to a leg injury, his second lengthy absence of the season, but Sunday's performance is a strong sign he's 100 percent and already back up to game speed. He's only played 10 games so far in 2023-24, but Chabot has contributed six helpers, 28 shots on goal, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Ready to rock Chabot (leg) will be activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Sunday versus Buffalo, according to Claire Hanna of TSN.
Impact Chabot told TSN 1200 Ottawa on Sunday that he suffered a fracture to his tibia after an extreme hyper extension against Seattle on Dec. 2. The 26-year-old blueliner has registered four assists, 26 shots on goal and 20 blocked shots in only nine appearances this season. Chabot skated alongside Jake Sanderson on the top pairing during Saturday's practice. Chabot could also see time on the second power-play unit. His return may bump Jacob Bernard-Docker from the lineup.

In full-contact jersey Saturday Chabot (lower body) is wearing a regular jersey at practice Saturday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Impact Chabot has missed the last 13 games and has played in only two of the Senators past 25 contests as he suffered a hand injury in late October that cost him 10 outings. Chabot has four assists in nine games this season. Look for the blueliner to return during the upcoming five-game road trip that begins Tuesday in Vancouver. Chabot should return to his spot quarterbacking the first power play, forcing Jake Sanderson down to the second unit.
DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nearing return to action Coach Jacques Martin expects Chabot (lower body) to return at some point during the Senators' upcoming five-game road trip, which begins Tuesday against Vancouver and ends Jan. 11...
Impact Chabot will miss a 12th straight game Friday against the Devils, but it sounds like the 26-year-old blueliner should be ready to return sooner rather than later. Chabot, who's picked up four helpers through nine contests this campaign, should slide into a top-pairing role and a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit upon his return to the lineup.
DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Put on LTIR Chabot (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Thursday, per PuckPedia.com.
Impact Chabot was already projected to miss at least four weeks because of the injury, so this move doesn't alter his timetable, but it does provide the Senators with short-term cap flexibility. The defenseman is in the fourth campaign of an eight-year, $64 million contract. Chabot has four assists, three hits and 20 blocks in nine contests this year.
DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Will miss at least four weeks Chabot (lower body) is expected to miss at least four weeks, Darren Dreger of TSN reports Thursday.
Impact Chabot returned from a hand injury Friday, but he played in just two contests before being hurt again. It's been a difficult campaign for the 26-year-old defenseman, who has four assists, three hits and 20 blocks in nine appearances. Erik Brannstrom is likely to continue to play regularly while Chabot is unavailable.
DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Thursday Chabot (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Maple Leafs, Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet reports.
Impact An update on Chabot's injury is expected Wednesday, which may provide clarity on how much longer he'll be out. The absence will be at least two games after this latest update. His injury has allowed for both of Jacob Bernard-Docker and Erik Brannstrom to stay in the lineup.
DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Tuesday Chabot (lower body) won't play Tuesday against the Rangers, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Chabot appeared to sustain a leg injury in Saturday's 2-0 win over Seattle. The Senators expect to have more details about the injury and Chabot's timeline after he undergoes an MRI on Tuesday. The 26-year-old blueliner has four assists, 26 shots on goal and 20 blocked shots over nine appearances this season.

Will play Friday Chabot (hand) will return to the lineup Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact Chabot has missed the last 10 games with a fractured hand, suffered versus the Islanders on Oct. 26. The talented blueliner is likely to lose some power-play time as Jake Sanderson and Jakob Chychrun may have passed him on the depth chart. Chabot had three assists in seven games before he was placed on long-term injured reserve.
NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to return Friday Coach DJ Smith expects Chabot (hand) to return Friday versus Columbus, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Impact Although Chabot appears to be on track to make his return following a 10-game absence, Smith notes that Ottawa's medical staff will have the final say on the defenseman's status against the Blue Jackets. Chabot picked up three helpers through the first seven games of the season before suffering a fractured hand.
NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Practicing in non-contact jersey Chabot (fractured hand) is participating at practice Thursday, albeit in a non-contact jersey, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Impact Chabot has missed the last eight games and still needs to sit out at least two more games before he is eligible to be activated from long-term injured reserve. The offensive defenseman has three assists in seven games this season. Chabot could return as early as Dec. 1 in Columbus.
