PITTSBURGH – The Ottawa Senators are down two more defencemen due to injury.

Head coach D.J. Smith told reporters Friday that Thomas Chabot fractured his hand and will likely miss six weeks.

Smith also said Erik Brannstrom returned to Ottawa after having scans done Thursday night with what Smith said is “clearly a concussion.”

Brannstrom was stretchered off the ice in the Senators’ 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday night after taking a hard hit from Cal Clutterbuck in the second period.

Ottawa was already without blue-liner Artem Zub, who is out with an upper-body injury.

The Senators will look to snap a three-game losing skid in the second leg of their two-game road trip on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
