Methot will require offseason surgery to address a bone chip in his elbow, TSN.ca reports. Methot, who also is slowed by a foot issue and hip-flexor injury, is set to undergo an MRI on his elbow before going under the knife. The blueliner, who missed the first two months of the season with a back issue, was a key contributor in the Senators' second-half turnaround, as reflected by his plus-22 rating over 45 games. He'll never be a huge source of offense for the Senators, but his solid play on the back end certainly doesn't go unnoticed by the organization, which rewarded Methot with a four-year contract extension in February.
