Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens with a lower-body injury, the team announced.

Brendan Gallagher delivered the hit to Chabot, which caused Senators forward Brady Tkachuk to fight the Canadiens winger.

Chabot entered Saturday with 33 points in 61 games, during which he's led all Senators players in average ice time at over 26 minutes per night. He signed an eight-year, $64-million extension in September.
