Thomas Chabot was assigned to the American Hockey League by the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.
Chabot had a rough outing in the Senators' final preseason match on Saturday, posting a -5 rating in 16:59 of ice time in Ottawa's 9-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
The 20-year-old defenceman will start the 2017-18 with the Senators' new AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators, where he'll be reunited with former Sea Dogs assistant coach Paul Boutilier. The team begins regular season play on Friday in Laval against the Rocket.
Chabot will likely see some NHL action at some point this season, whether that be as a call up or a full time member of the Sens.
A 2015 first-rounder, Chabot started last season with Ottawa, appearing in one game before being sent back to Saint John.
In 34 regular season games with the Sea Dogs last year, Chabot had 10 goals and 45 points. He had another five goals and 23 points in 18 playoff games.
