Rotowire
Chabot scored a goal on five shots, added a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 8-7 overtime win over the Kings.

Senators' Thomas Chabot: Five points in last four games
Rotowire
Chabot scored a goal and added an assists Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Devils.
Since missing five games with a lower-body injury, Chabot has put up five points, including two goals, in his last four contests. He has 27 points in 42 appearances this season, and Chabot has played well when he's on the ice. However, the harsh reality is injuries have prevented him from ever playing a full season. The 27-year-old defenseman could be an elite offensive performer and steady crease clearer if he could stay healthy.
