Chabot Undergoes Forearm Surgery, Out Up To Two Months

Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot underwent surgery on his right forearm on Thursday. Coach Travis Green announced Chabot will miss up to two months due to a broken arm, updating an earlier report from Julian McKenzie of The Athletic that suggested a minimum four-week sideline. This procedure will keep the veteran blueliner out during a critical stretch, placing increased pressure on the remaining defensive corps. The team will navigate the next month or more without one of their primary puck-movers and leaders on the back end.
