Ottawa Senators head coach Jacques Martin said that defenceman Thomas Chabot will be evaluated after he exited the game in the third period against the Buffalo Sabres.
Chabot played just two shifts in the third period. It’s not clear when he may have sustained an injury, but did backcheck against Sabres’ Victor Olofsson on his last shift. Prior to leaving, he was shown to be talking to a Senators trainer.
Chabot has suffered various injuries this season, sidelined for all of November with a hand injury and earlier this month with a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old has played just 43 of the Senators’ 71 games this season.
Another cause for concern — fellow defenceman Jake Sanderson blocked a shot with less than four minutes remaining in the game and did not return, though Martin did not provide an update on his status.
The Senators currently sit seventh in the Atlantic Division and 15 points out of a playoff spot.
