The Ottawa Senators have decided to return defenseman Thomas Chabot to the QMJHL's Saint John Sea Dogs.
Chabot, 19, was drafted 18th overall by the Senators in 2015 and stuck with the team out of training camp but appeared in only one of Ottawa's nine games.

Chabot has 108 points in 168 junior games, and will likely represent Canada at the World Junior Championships once again this year.
