Chabot (hand) will return to the lineup Friday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

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, at least initially, 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.
