Thomas Chabot will be an alternate captain Saturday night as the Ottawa Senators take on the Philadelphia Flyers.
The team posted a photo of Chabot’s jersey with the new letter addition on Twitter.
The move comes after alternate captain Ron Hainsey suffered an apparent knee injury during the first period of the Senators’ overtime win against the Nashville Predators on Thursday.
The 22-year-old defenceman has posted three goals and 22 points in 36 games with the club this season. He is in the final year of his entry-level contract but signed an eight-year, $64-million contract extension in September.
