Chabot logs nearly 38 minutes in OT loss to Lightning

Get Thomas Chabot some water, stat.

The Ottawa Senators blue-liner deserves a long rest after playing a whopping 37:50 during his club's overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.

Chabot's effort represents the second-most minutes played in a regular-season game dating back to 1979-80, according to Hockey Reference. Dennis Wideman's 38:05 in January 2014 is the only number that bests Chabot's.

Making Chabot's Herculean performance even more impressive is the fact the Senators were on the second half of a back-to-back. Chabot played 22:35 during Monday's loss to the Florida Panthers, and entered Tuesday's game averaging 25:10 per contest.

Chabot had a total of 30 shifts Tuesday night, playing 33 minutes at even strength and an additional 4:50 on the power play, according to the NHL's official shift chart. He didn't notch any points but fired four shots on goal while adding two blocks.

The Senators return to action Thursday night versus the Nashville Predators at home, where Chabot's name is likely to be repeatedly called upon once again.
