Thomas Chabot is still with the Senators.
Whether he’s here to start the season Wednesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs at home has yet to be finalized but with one exhibition game left Friday against the Buffalo Sabres at the Canadian Tire Centre, his chances are good.
While the Senators are no longer pursuing unrestricted free agent blueliner Kris Russell and the plan is to keep eight defencemen, coach Guy Boucher indicated the organization would like to see the 19-year-old Chabot one more time in the pre-season before making a decision.
“Camp’s not finished,” Boucher said Thursday.
