The Ottawa Senators, deep in a funk that has them last in the Eastern Conference, will get a boost when defenceman Thomas Chabot returns to action Friday to face the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia first reported Chabot’s return.
Chabot was placed on LTIR on Oct. 28 after suffering a fractured hand, and was expected to be sidelined four-to-six weeks, Ottawa Senators coach D.J. Smith told reporters on Oct. 27.
Chabot apparently suffered the injury in Oct. 26 game after blocking a shot.
Chabot, 26, has had his career derailed multiple times by injuries, notably suffering a fracture to his hand in March 2022 and had his season halted by injury in 2020-21.
Ridly Greig also took to the ice during practice on Thursday, reportedly not wearing a non-contact jersey, but is not yet ready to go, according to Garrioch.
The Senators are 8-9, but have seven games in hand on the Blue Jackets, the next team above them in the standings.
