On March 12, Veronneau signed a two-year entry-level contract with the team he grew up cheering for, the Ottawa Senators.

The Canucks built a big lead then withstood a late Senators surge for a 7-4 win Wednesday night that moved Vancouver to within four points of a wild-card spot in the Western Conference.

Ottawa Senators head coach Marc Crawford said Chabot hopes to return before the end of the season.
