Senators missing Chabot, Zub, Foegele, MacDermid for preseason opener

Ottawa opens the preseason Monday against Montreal in Trois-Rivières without alternate captain Thomas Chabot (wife due to give birth), plus injured Artem Zub, Warren Foegele and Kurtis MacDermid. Jordan Spence also sat out Sunday as a maintenance day.

What it means

• Chabot, Zub, Foegele and MacDermid all unavailable for the Canadiens game
• Zub and Foegele already out; MacDermid has an upper-body injury from camp
• Jordan Spence given a maintenance day, no risks taken

Model read

Ottawa's blueline is notably thinned with Chabot and Zub both absent, so the Senators will lean on depth defencemen and a strong goaltending trio in a low-stakes preseason opener.
