He was kept on the Senators' roster and made his NHL debut on October 18, 2016 versus the Arizona Coyotes.[6] He was later returned to the Sea Dogs after his solitary game with the Senators for his final major junior season.[7] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Chabot earned the Sea Dogs Top Defenceman Award and the Fans Choice Award.[8]

To start the 2017–18 season, Chabot was sent to the AHL affiliate of the Senators, the Belleville Senators, where he scored two goals, five assists in 12 games, but was recalled to the Senators in November.[9] He scored his first NHL goal, as well as two primary assists, in a 6–5 win over the New York Islanders on December 1, 2017.[10] In his first NHL season, he compiled 9 goals and 16 assists for 25 points.
