Chabot, Giroux, Stutzle excited for new-look Senators after Ottawa’s busy off-season
OTTAWA — Thomas Chabot’s golf swing seemingly wasn’t impacted by off-season wrist surgery or the addition of a wedding ring. He’s sure the operation will improve his on-ice performance when the Ottawa Senators’ season begins, too.
Chabot, Claude Giroux, and Tim Stutzle were some of the Senators on hand Monday for the NHL team’s annual charity golf tournament that marks the unofficial start of the hockey season. All three were excited to get back to playing, especially with some of the new additions to Ottawa’s lineup.
“I took care of some stuff this summer,” said Chabot. “It’s exciting. It’s going to be fun coming into the season with no bumps and bruises and feeling healthy and getting ready to play hockey.”
Chabot admitted the wrist injury had affected his performance in previous seasons.
