Sens' Chabot ruled out Saturday vs. Capitals with injury

Ottawa Senators head coach Guy Boucher confirmed Thomas Chabot will be out for at least Saturday's game versus the Washington Capitals after suffering an upper-body injury Friday night.

Chabot left the game and did not return after taking a hit from New York Islanders forward Matt Martin in the second period. Martin was not penalized on the play.

Boucher added the Sens' top blue-liner is not dealing with a head injury, and a timetable for his return is unknown.

Frustration boiled over during the contest's dying seconds. The teams combined for 38 penalty minutes with less than a minute on the clock, which included a fight between Martin and Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki.
