That rules him out of Wednesday&#8217;s game against Florida, the night Brady Tkachuk returns to Ottawa. Jake Sanderson comes back from his own injury and takes Chabot&#8217;s place in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chabot left Saturday&#8217;s 3-1 loss in Philadelphia early. He played 12:03, and his last shift ended at 18:33 of the second period, according to the NHL&#8217;s shift chart. Sportsnet, TSN and Daily Faceoff all carried the same one-to-two-week timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Senators vs. Flyers | NHL Highlights | Oct 17, 2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z-9VyTt81Tc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Highlights: Flyers 3, Senators 1, 17 October 2026. Video: NHL on YouTube.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how\">How the Thomas Chabot injury happened<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was not a new problem. Coach Travis Green said it was an injury Chabot had been dealing with going into the Flyers game, according to the Citizen, and the club wants him rested until he is fully healthy. The Senators have not described it beyond an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The loss was Philadelphia&#8217;s first win of the season, after a winless start, and it ended Linus Ullmark&#8217;s six-game winning run. Our <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/nhl\/linus-ullmark-injury\/\">Ullmark injury story<\/a> covers his own scare earlier in the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"impact\">What Ottawa lose without their captain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minutes, mostly. Chabot leads Ottawa&#8217;s defence at 25:19 a night, ahead of Jordan Spence at 22:23, and he has one goal and three assists in nine games. He was named captain on 29 September, after the Tkachuk trade, and our <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/nhl\/thomas-chabot-ottawa-senators-captain\/\">story on his captaincy<\/a> explains why he got the C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blue line was already stretched. The Citizen counts 10 defencemen used by Ottawa this season, and the Senators are 6-3-0 going into the home stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sanderson\">Jake Sanderson injury: back on Wednesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sanderson has not played since the opener in Toronto on 3 October, when he aggravated a lower-body injury from the preseason and lasted 4:29. He missed the next eight games. He told reporters on Monday that he will play against Florida, and admitted he may have come back too early the first time, according to the Citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is the like-for-like replacement. Sanderson led Ottawa&#8217;s defence in ice time last season, at close to 25 minutes a night, so his return softens the blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"schedule\">Games Chabot could miss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Game<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Start<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Wed 21 Oct<\/strong><\/td><td>vs <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/teams\/florida-panthers\/\">Florida<\/a><\/td><td>7:30 p.m. ET<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Thu 22 Oct<\/strong><\/td><td>vs <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/teams\/san-jose-sharks\/\">San Jose<\/a><\/td><td>7 p.m. ET<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sat 24 Oct<\/strong><\/td><td>vs <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/teams\/new-york-rangers\/\">NY Rangers<\/a><\/td><td>7 p.m. ET<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tue 27 Oct<\/strong><\/td><td>at <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/teams\/vegas-golden-knights\/\">Vegas<\/a><\/td><td>10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Thu 29 Oct<\/strong><\/td><td>at <a href=\"\/ca\/nhl\/teams\/los-angeles-kings\/\">Los Angeles<\/a><\/td><td>10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A one-to-two-week absence covers the home stand against Florida, San Jose and the Rangers, and could stretch into the trip to Vegas and Los Angeles.
