Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot will return to the ice Thursday, just 17 days after breaking his right arm.

He sustained the injury in Ottawa's March 23 win against the New York Rangers and had surgery on March 26.

The team's original injury timeline suggested Chabot would be sidelined for four to eight weeks.

Instead, he returns two weeks after the procedure and looks to help Ottawa (41-27-10, 92 points) lock down a playoff spot.

The Senators currently hold the No. 2 wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with four games to play, including a game on Thursday against the visiting Florida Panthers.

Chabot, 29, missed only eight games after getting cross-checked by Rangers captain J.T. Miller. He has 31 points (seven goals, 24 assists) in 55 games this season.

A first-round pick (18th overall) by the Senators in 2015, Chabot has recorded 335 points (78 goals, 257 assists) in 567 games with the franchise. He was an All-Star in the 2018-19 season.
