Senators' Chabot out four weeks with leg injury
Published
Ottawa Senators defenceman Thomas Chabot will be out a minimum of four weeks with a leg injury, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported on Thursday.
Chabot, 26, injured his leg during the Senators' 2-0 win over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night and already missed Tuesday's 6-2 win over the New York Rangers.
The 6-foot-2 defenceman will not require surgery and the Senators are expected to place him on long-term injured reserve, which will require him to miss 10 games and 24 days, according to Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch.
Chabot has four assists in nine games this season and leads the team recording 24:23 of ice time per game.
Drafted 18th overall by the Senators in the 2015 draft, Chabot has 53 goals and 233 points in 390 career games.
