Senators' Thomas Chabot: May have aggravated injury
Rotowire
Chabot (undisclosed) will be evaluated ahead of Thursday's game versus the Kings after possibly aggravating a previous injury, Ian Mendes of The Athleticreports
The 27-year-old defenseman led the Senators with 24:26 of ice time in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks, but he may not be 100 percent after the contest. Chabot hasn't missed a game with the issue yet, but he was a game-time decision twice last weekend due to the injury.
Chabot scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Flyers.
He was a game-time decision Saturday but played a game-high 26:02. Chabot scored with the extra attacker on the ice on a one-timer from the bottom of the right circle. It pulled the Sens to 3-2, but they couldn't find the equalizer. Chabot is a big-ticket defender who often finds himself sidelined with injury. He is talented, but you need a contingency plan when you have him on your squad.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Good to go Saturday
Rotowire
Chabot (undisclosed) is set to play Saturday versus the Flyers, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Chabot was deemed a game-time decision, but he'll suit up Saturday after also being questionable before playing Friday versus the Coyotes. The Senators will have seven defensemen on hand with Maxence Guenette in the lineup while Brady Tkachuk (upper body) sits out Saturday. That lineup composition could allow the team to build in some relief for Chabot if his lingering issue flares up during the contest.
