Senators' Chabot Returns from Upper-Body Injury, Will Play Saturday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (upper body) has been activated from injured reserve and is set to return to the lineup Saturday against Chicago. Chabot missed 12 games due to the injury. In 18 appearances this season, the 28-year-old has recorded two goals, eight assists, 36 blocked shots, and 13 hits. He is expected to reclaim his role on the first power-play unit alongside Jake Sanderson, potentially making Nikolas Matinpalo the odd-man out on the blue line.
