Ottawa Senators defenceman Thomas Chabot left Saturday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens with a lower-body injury, the team announced. 

The injury occurred in the first period when Chabot was hit into the boards, with his knee hitting the wall. 

After the game, head coach DJ Smith told reporters, “We think [Chabot's] alright. It’s nothing major.”

The 23-year-old took a test skate on the ice during the last TV timeout of the first period but never returned to the game, according to TSN's Ian Mendes. 

 In 61 games this season, the defenceman has five goals and 33 points.
