Senators' Thomas Chabot: Likely out until mid-December
Rotowire
Head coach Travis Green said Thursday that Chabot (upper body) is expected to miss approximately 10 more days, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
Chabot has appeared in just one of the Senators' last nine games, and he was placed on injured reserve Saturday. While he's already eligible to return, he'll require more time on the shelf before he's in the mix to return to game action. Dennis Gilbert is slated to make his season debut Thursday against the Rangers as the Senators continue to adjust their defensive pairings in Chabot's absence.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Appears to aggravate injury
Rotowire
Chabot looked to aggravate his upper-body injury in Saturday's game versus the Sharks, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Chabot appeared to tweak something late in the third period and didn't take a shift after that happened. However, he talked to the media after the game, telling Murray Pam of Hockey Hot Stove that he "felt great" upon returning to the lineup Saturday. Typically, players with injuries will not be interviewed after games, so this suggests Chabot may have escaped a serious issue. That said, fantasy managers will want to check on his availability for Monday's game versus the Kings.

Chabot (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
Chabot sustained an upper-body injury during last Tuesday's game against the Stars, and the Senators announced Thursday that the defenseman was expected to miss approximately two weeks.

Rotowire
Chabot (upper body) is expected to miss two weeks of action, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports Thursday.
Chabot's timeline isn't set in stone, but he's a little worse off than day-to-day after sustaining an injury Tuesday versus the Stars. The 28-year-old's absence will test the Senators' defensive depth in the short term, but it should give Jordan Spence a chance to prove himself in the lineup.
