He was tended to for several minutes by medical staff and gave a thumbs-up as he was taken off the ice. No update has been provided yet.
Sabourin, 27, made his NHL debut this season after several years in the minors. He's chipped in two points for the Senators while averaging just under seven minutes of ice time per night.
