Chabot (hand) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Chabot has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, so his placement on injured reserve frees up a roster spot. He could still move to long-term IR later, though the Senators are not pushing close to the salary cap and would have virtually no benefit to make such a move. He's expected to be ready to play next season.

Chabot suffered a broken hand Wednesday against Columbus and will miss the remainder of the campaign, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a tough blow for Chabot, who will end the campaign with 34 points in 55 games. With the Senators a whopping 29 points out of a playoff spot at the moment, there likely wouldn't have been a need for them to rush the 25-year-old blueliner back anyway. Chabot should be fully healed up and ready to go for training camp next fall.

Chabot (upper body) is expected to be out for a while, Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chabot left Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jackets in the second period, and it sounds like the absence will cost him some contests. Fantasy managers should expect him to be out at least through this weekend's games based on Mendes' report. Victor Mete figures to enter the lineup and could pick up some of Chabot's power-play time going forward.

Chabot (upper body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Chabot was hurt in the second period, though he briefly played through it before heading to the locker room. If he can't play Friday versus the Flyers, Victor Mete will likely draw into the lineup. Chabot plays a large role as the Senators' top defenseman in all situations, so any time missed for him will be a significant absence for the team to overcome.

Chabot (undisclosed) played Saturday in a 6-3 loss to Chicago. He scored a first-period goal and fired three shots in 24:06.
EDGE Analysis
The league leader in ice time was on point in the game - whatever ailed him sure didn't impair him Saturday. Chabot has 33 points in 53 games and while he sits outside the top-20 scorers from the blue line, he's still pacing toward a 50-point season.

Chabot (undisclosed) is expected to play Saturday against the Blackhawks, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chabot should draw into his usual featured role skating on the top pairing and first power-play unit Saturday. The 25-year-old blueliner has picked up five goals and 32 points through 52 games this season.

Chabot (undisclosed) was deemed a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt versus Chicago, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Chabot has averaged 26:01 of ice time -- 2:52 during the power play -- and generated four points over the last five games. If withheld from participation Saturday, it will mark the 25-year-old's sixth absence in the last 12 games.

Chabot picked up three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
It was a game of huge momentum shifts, as the Senators fell behind 4-0 before coming all the way back and taking a 5-4 lead early in the third period, only to see Arizona make one more big push. Chabot played a big role in that mid-game comeback, setting up all three of Ottawa's tallies in the second frame for his second three-point performance in his last four games. On the season, the All-Star blueliner has five goals and 31 points through 49 contests.

Chabot collected an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
The blueliner missed Saturday's contest with a non-COVID illness, but Chabot was right back in form upon his return. He's up to five goals and 28 points through 47 games on the season, but Chabot's most impressive stat might be his plus-2 rating for an Ottawa squad with a minus-29 goal differential.

Chabot (illness) is expected to play Tuesday versus the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Chabot missed Saturday's game versus the Canadiens due to an illness, but it won't cost him any additional time. The 25-year-old will return to his usual No. 1 defenseman role. He was limited to four points in seven games in February.
