Chabot (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Thursday, per PuckPedia.com.

The defenseman is in the fourth campaign of an eight-year, $64 million contract. Chabot has four assists, three hits and 20 blocks in nine contests this year.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Notches first helper
Rotowire
Chabot picked up an assist, fired three shots on goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Capitals.
The helper was Chabot's first point in four games this season. That slow start cost the defenseman his spot on the top power-play unit, which was occupied by Jake Sanderson in this contest. Chabot has at least contributed well defensively with a plus-2 rating and 10 blocked shots. He'll remain a fixture in the top four, but he may be stuck on the second power-play unit for the foreseeable future.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Earns helper Saturday
Rotowire
Chabot picked up an assist, blocked three shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.
Chabot set up a Claude Giroux goal in the third period that ended Thatcher Demko's shutout bid. The helper snapped a four-game point drought for Chabot. It's too early to tell if the addition of Jakob Chychrun will negatively impact Chabot's production -- they play on different pairings, but the former's also a good fit on the power play, even though the latter has remained on the top unit. Chabot is at nine goals, 27 helpers, 155 shots on net, 105 blocked shots, 69 hits, 50 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 60 contests.
